Instructions
For the apple filling:
Place a large skillet or pan over medium heat on the stove and add the butter with the sugar and sliced apples. Cook stirring with a wooden spoon for 4-6 minutes until the apples are soft.
In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch with the water with a fork and add to the pan, stirring constantly. Add the ground cinnamon, nutmeg and cook for 4-5 minutes more until the apples are very soft and the liquid has thickened a little. Remove the pan from the heat and let the filling cool completely.
For the french toast roll ups:
In a medium bowl add the eggs with the milk, the vanilla extract and mix very well with a fork until a homogeneous mixture is formed. Separately, in a flat dish combine the sugar with the cinnamon.
On a clean surface or cutting board, roll out or flatten with a rolling pin each slice of bread. Carefully with a dull knife, spread a little cream cheese on each slice.
Place 2 tsp of the apple filling (already cold) on each slice of bread and then roll them up one by one, making sure they are tightly packed so that the filling does not leak out.
Place a large frying pan over medium heat with a little butter. Separately, take two rolls, dip them in the egg mixture and then directly into the skillet (once it is hot). Cook the rolls for 2-3 minutes on each side until lightly browned.
Once ready, dip them in the cinnamon-sugar mixture until well coated.
Add a little more butter to the pan and cook the rest of the rolls, two at a time until they are all ready. They can be served with ice cream, dulce de leche or chocolate sauce.
