EVERY RECIPE DESERVES

A Little Love Letter

These crispy golden rolls, filled with spiced apples and topped with caramel & vanilla sauce and milk crumble, are everything you love about desserts. They’re the perfect blend of sweet, buttery, and crunchy, delivering big seasonal vibes in every bite. Whether you’re making them for a dinner party or just for yourself, this dessert promises to steal the show and leave everyone asking for seconds.

Lay the rolls on a warm puddle of vanilla sauce, drizzle generously with caramel, and finish with a sprinkle of milk crumble for that perfect texture. Serve them while they’re still warm to keep the filo dough crisp and the apple filling gooey.

Store leftover rolls in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat them in the oven at 180°C (350°F) for about 10 minutes to bring back their crisp texture.

Description

Recommended Equipment

  • sharp knife
  • cutting board
  • two small pots
  • two small bowls
  • oven

Ingredients

Units Scale
APPLE PIE ROLLS
  • 8 filo pastry sheets
  • 1 apple
  • 150 milliliter apple juice
  • 2 tsp cornstarch
  • 15 grams white sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tsp lemon juice
  • 1/2 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/8 tsp nutmeg
  • pinch of salt
CARAMEL CINNAMON SAUCE
  • 75g white sugar
  • 2 tbsp water
  • 20 grams butter
  • 75 grams heavy cream
  • 1/2 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp vanilla extract
  • pinch of salt
VANILLA SAUCE
  • 150 grams heavy cream
  • 150 milliliter full-fat milk
  • 3 egg yolks
  • 1 vanilla bean
  • 50 grams brown sugar
  • pinch of salt
MILK CRUMBLE
  • 30 grams full-fat milk powder
  • 50 grams all-purpose flour
  • 30 grams powdered sugar
  • 1/8 tsp salt
  • 25 grams butter
  • 45 grams white chocolate

Instructions

  1. For the apple filling, dice the apples and add them to a pot with apple juice, sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt, vanilla extract, and lemon juice. Simmer over medium heat for about 10 minutes until the apples are soft. Mix cornstarch with 2 tbsp of cold water, then stir it into the apple mixture. Bring to a quick boil until it thickens, then remove from heat and let cool.
  2. For the caramel-cinnamon sauce, heat sugar and water in a pot until it reaches 170°C (340°F) and turns a light golden caramel (about 10–15 minutes). Remove from heat and carefully stir in butter and cream – it may clump, but just keep stirring. Add a pinch of salt, vanilla extract, and cinnamon, mix well, and let it cool.
  3. For the milk crumble, combine milk powder, flour, powdered sugar, and salt in a bowl. Add melted butter and mix with your hands until crumbly. Spread the mixture onto a baking sheet and bake at 140°C (285°F) for about 10 minutes. While it bakes, melt the white chocolate. Once the crumble is baked, transfer it to a bowl, drizzle the melted chocolate over it, and stir until it forms larger clusters. Set aside.
  4. Next, prepare the vanilla sauce. You can find the recipe here.
  5. For the filo rolls, place a heaping tablespoon of the apple filling on each sheet of filo dough. Fold in the sides, roll them up, and seal the ends with a bit of water. Arrange the rolls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, brush them with melted butter, and bake at 180°C (355°F) for about 15 minutes until golden brown.
  6. To serve, pour the vanilla sauce onto plates or bowls, cut the filo rolls into three pieces each, and arrange them on top of the sauce. Drizzle with the caramel-cinnamon sauce and finish with milk crumbles. Enjoy!

EVERY RECIPE DESERVES

A Little Love Letter

Vanilla sauce is a classic dessert topping that transforms any dish into a gourmet treat. This creamy and rich sauce is perfect for drizzling over cakes, pies, and fresh fruit. Easy to make and absolutely delicious, it’s a must-have recipe in your dessert repertoire.

Serve this delightful vanilla sauce warm over a slice of apple pie, or drizzle it over a bowl of fresh berries for a simple yet elegant dessert. It’s also fantastic on bread pudding, pancakes, or even ice cream. The possibilities are endless, making it a versatile addition to your kitchen.

To store your vanilla sauce, let it cool completely before transferring it to an airtight container. Keep it refrigerated and it will stay fresh for up to 2 days. When ready to use, gently reheat it on the stove or in the microwave, stirring occasionally to maintain its smooth texture or serve it chilled straight from the fridge.

Description

GOOD TO HAVE ON HAND

  • 2 small pots
  • medium glass or aluminum bowl
  • whisk
  • spatula
  • sharp knife
  • cutting board

 


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 150 milliliters heavy-cream
  • 150 milliliters whole-fat milk
  • 3 egg yolks
  • 50 grams brown sugar
  • 1 vanilla bean
  • pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Pour the cream and milk into a pot. Slice the vanilla bean lengthwise, scrape out the seeds, and add both the seeds and the bean to the pot with the cream and milk. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, then set aside.
  2. Meanwhile, fill another pot halfway with water and bring it to a simmer.
  3. Separate the eggs and place the yolks in a medium glass or aluminum bowl. Add the brown sugar and salt, then whisk until smooth. The egg whites aren’t needed for this recipe, but you can use them to make delicious meringue.
  4. Remove the pot with the water from the heat and place the bowl with the egg-sugar mixture on top. The bottom of the bowl should not touch the water. Gradually add the hot cream to the egg-sugar mixture, whisking constantly. If you’re doing this alone, add a few tablespoons at a time and whisk quickly, repeating until about 3/4 of the cream is incorporated. This slow addition prevents the egg yolks from curdling by gently warming them. When most of the cream is added, pour in the rest and whisk.
  5. Place the pot with the bowl back on the stove over medium-high heat and switch from the whisk to a spatula. The spatula incorporates less air, preventing the sauce from becoming foamy. Stir the mixture with the spatula until it thickens, about 10 minutes, or until it reaches 75°-79°C (167°-174°F).
  6. To check if the sauce is ready, you can use a simple trick known as „coating the back of a spoon“ or as we say in Germany „pull off to the rose“. Dip a wooden spoon into the sauce and blow on the back of the spoon. If you see a pattern that resembles rose petals, the sauce is ready. A nice visual, right? So when you see this, remove the sauce from the heat. You can serve it now warm or let it cool. Enjoy this piece of happiness 🙂
