For a twist, you can add a touch of finely chopped nuts (like walnuts or hazelnuts) to the filling or a spoonful of apricot jam before rolling. Want it even simpler? Use store-bought apple compote as the filling.
Frequently Asked Questions:
Q: Can I use filo dough instead of puff pastry?
A: Yes, but the texture will be crispier and lighter. Be sure to brush each filo layer with melted butter.
Q: What apples work best?
A: Sweet-tart varieties like Fuji, Pink Lady, or Granny Smith are ideal as they hold their shape and balance the sweetness.
Q: Can I make them in advance?
A: You can prepare the rolls and refrigerate them (unbaked) for a few hours. Bake them fresh when ready to serve.
