Ingredients

For the dough:
- 6 eggs
- 6 tablespoons of flour
- 6 tablespoons of sugar
- 3 tablespoons of oil
- 5 g baking powder (about 1/2 packet)
- 1 vial of vanilla essence

For the filling:
- 6 large apples (preferably Golden or Granny Smith)
- 2-3 tablespoons of sugar (depending on the sweetness of the apples)
- 1 tablespoon of semolina
- 1 teaspoon of cinnamon

Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Preparing the dough
1. Separating the eggs: Start by separating the eggs. Place the egg whites in a large bowl and the yolks in another.
2. Whip the egg whites: Use an electric mixer and beat the egg whites on high speed until a firm foam forms.
3. Mix the yolks: In the bowl with the yolks, add the sugar and oil. Beat well until you obtain a creamy mixture, then add the vanilla essence.
4. Combining the ingredients: With a spatula, gradually fold the whipped egg whites into the yolk mixture. Be careful to mix gently, so you don't lose the air incorporated in the egg whites.
5. Adding the flour: Sift the flour together with the baking powder and gently fold them into the batter.

Step 2: Baking the dough
1. Preparing the tray: Line a baking tray with parchment paper, ensuring it is well spread out, without air bubbles.
2. Pouring the batter: Pour the batter evenly into the tray, making sure it spreads well across the surface.
3. Baking: Preheat the oven to 180°C (medium heat) and bake the dough for 15-20 minutes or until it turns golden and a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean.

Step 3: Preparing the filling
1. Peeling the apples: In the meantime, peel the apples, remove the seeds, and cut them into small cubes.
2. Caramelizing the apples: In a pan, add the chopped apples, sugar, semolina, and cinnamon. Cook over medium heat, stirring frequently, until the apples become soft and caramelized (about 5-7 minutes).

Step 4: Assembling the roll
1. Cooling the dough: Once the dough is baked, remove it from the oven and immediately roll it up with the parchment paper. Let it cool in this form for a few minutes.
2. Unrolling the roll: After it has cooled slightly, carefully peel off the parchment paper.
3. Adding the filling: Spread the warm apple mixture evenly over the roll dough.
4. Rolling: Use the parchment paper to help roll the dough with the apples. Remove the paper as you roll.

Step 5: Serving
1. Final cooling: Let the roll cool completely before slicing it.
2. Decorating: You can decorate the roll with powdered sugar, melted chocolate, or whipped cream for a more appealing look.

Practical Tips
- Choosing the apples: Sweet-sour apples are the most suitable for achieving a pleasant contrast with the sweet dough.
- Healthy option: You can replace sugar with natural sweeteners, such as honey or maple syrup, for a healthier option.
- Rolling: If the dough is too hot, it will break. So, make sure it is at room temperature before unrolling it.
