It’s Fall and that means apple season.  I can’t wait for you to try this Apple Cake Roll!

I’m always looking for easy recipes and when I was looking through an old cookbook the other day a very unique recipe jumped out at me.  It starts out by shredding apples and applying them directly to a lined cookie sheet.  Then a light and fluffy batter is made and poured over the apples. Once you bake it the apples remain on the bottom and you roll the cake up with the apples inside.  I made this twice, once with regular sugar and once with a sugar substitute; they both tasted the same.  I love how this comes together quickly, it’s not that sweet and it doesn’t require any frosting!
Ingredients are as follows: 

4 eggs, separated
1/4 C brown sugar or sugar substitute
1 tsp. vanilla
4 Tbsp. flour
1/2 tsp. baking powder
1/4 tsp. salt
4 apples
2 Tbsp. sugar or sugar substitute
1/2 tsp. cinnamon

Directions:   

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Spray a jelly roll pan with cooking spray then place a piece of wax paper (or parchment paper) on top.  Spray the bottom and sides with cooking spray; set aside.

Carefully pull off the wax paper (I put a knife underneath mine to guide it a little and it worked out perfectly).  Roll the cake up with the apples inside.  Allow to cool.
