The smell alone of JD’s cinnamon and apple scrolls will make your mouth water…
Ingredients
- 2 cups of self raising-flour
- 50 grams of butter/margarine
- 1/2 cup of milk
- 1 egg
- 2 teaspoons of sugar
- One heaped teaspoon of cinnamon
- 1 can of cooked apple pieces
Filling
- One cup butter
- 2/3 cup of brown sugar
- One heaped teaspoon of cinnamon
Method
- Beat the milk and egg together in a bowl (save a bit for glazing).
- In a separate bowl, rub the butter and flour together with your fingers. Add two teaspoons of sugar, the cinnamon, and combine with the butter and flour mixture until it resembles a crumble.
- Form a well in the middle, add the milk and egg mixture, and combine with a knife. Set aside to rest while you make the filling.
- To make the filling, combine one cup of butter with 2/3 cup of brown sugar and a heaped teaspoon of cinnamon. Combine the ingredients together using a wooden spoon until the mixture resembles buttery cream.
- Pat the dough out onto a floured board, and form it into a thin rectangle – you may need a rolling pin for this.
- Spread the filling mixture onto the dough, and then sprinkle it with the cooked apple pieces.
- Carefully roll into a sausage shape and cut into individual scrolls using a sharp knife. They should be pieces roughly 1.5in wide. Place each scroll on a tray, and then brush with the egg and milk mixture.
- Bake at 200°C for 20 minutes or until golden brown. Once the scrolls are baked, they’re ready to serve. If you like, you could also sprinkle the scrolls with icing sugar afterwards.
