Total time: 40-45 minutes
Number of servings: 10

Ingredients

- 1 package of phyllo dough (10 sheets)
- 2 kg apples (preferably sweet-tart apples)
- 2 packets of vanilla sugar
- Sugar (to taste, I prefer less)
- 2 tablespoons cinnamon
- 100 g margarine or butter (for greasing)
- Oil (for greasing the sheets)

Ingredient Tips

Apples are the main ingredient, and your choice can significantly influence the flavor of the roll. Choose apples with a crisp texture, such as Granny Smith or Golden Delicious, for a pleasant contrast between sweet and tart. Vanilla sugar will add a hint of flavor, and cinnamon will turn the dessert into a true explosion of aromas. If you want to add a crunchy note, chopped nuts are a fantastic addition!

Step-by-step in making the roll

1. Thawing the phyllo sheets
Start by allowing the phyllo sheets to thaw according to the instructions on the packaging. It is important that they are not completely frozen when you use them to avoid tearing.

2. Preparing the apples
Peel the apples and cut them into small cubes. Place them in a bowl and squeeze them well to avoid making the rolls too wet. Add the vanilla sugar, sugar (to taste), and cinnamon, mixing well.

3. Assembling the roll
Divide the phyllo sheets into five portions of two sheets each. Brush each sheet with oil, ensuring it is evenly coated. Add a layer of apples over the entire surface of the sheet, being careful not to leave the edges bare.

4. Forming the roll
Wrap the sheet with the apple filling like a roll, making sure to tighten it well. Place the formed roll in a greased baking dish with margarine or butter, repeating the process with all the other sheets.

5. Preparing for baking
Before placing the dish in the oven, brush each roll with melted margarine and sprinkle a mixture of sugar and cinnamon on top. This will create a delicious golden crust.

6. Baking
Preheat the oven to 180°C (medium heat) and bake the rolls for 25-30 minutes, or until they become golden and crispy.

7. Serving
Once the rolls have cooled slightly, cut them into slices and serve them warm or at room temperature. They are delicious and simple, but you can add a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream to turn them into an unforgettable dessert.

Possible Variations

If you want to experiment, you can add raisins or nuts to the apple filling. Also, for an extra flavor, you can add a few drops of rum essence or vanilla liqueur to the apple mixture.

Nutritional Benefits

Apples are an excellent source of fiber, vitamins A and C, offering benefits for the digestive and immune systems. Additionally, cinnamon is known for its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. Can I use other fruits instead of apples?
Yes, you can try pears, plums, or even berries for a different version.

2. How can I store the rolls?
The rolls can be stored in the refrigerator in an airtight container for 3-4 days. You can reheat them in the oven to bring back their crispy texture.

3. Can I freeze the rolls?
Yes, the rolls can be frozen before baking. Place them in an airtight container and you can bake them directly from the freezer, adding a few extra minutes to the baking time.
