Step by step instructions to make the Apple Cinnamon Bread Rolls

Let us see the step by step procedure tto make the cinnamon apple bread rolls.

Prepare the apple filling

Peel off the apple skin and cut into small pieces. Add these to a pan.

To this add 1 to 2 tbsp of sugar according to the sweetness of the apple. Also add the cinnamon powder to this and the lemon juice. lemon juice gives light tangy taste to the dish and also it avoids the darkening of the apple. If you plan to eat the rolls immediately and also you do not like the tangy taste, then you can avoid the lemon juice. But I personally prefer adding them. Also If you are health conscious and want to avoid the white sugar, you can substitute the white sugar with palm sugar or organic brown sugar or country sugar.

Saute the apple for 3 to 4 min in low to med flame and cook nicely. The sugar gets melted and begin to caramelize and also the apple should be cooked for 70 to 75 % only and it should retain its crunchiness a bit, so that, while eating, it gives a nice crunchy taste. Transfer to a bowl and let it cool down.

Prepare the sugar cinnamon mixture

Now in anther Bowl, add sugar and cinnamon powder and mix well.

Keep this aside.

Prepare the rolls

You can use sandwich or milk bread for these rolls. Sandwich bread would be bigger in size. But both bread gives a good taste to this recipe. Remove the sides of the bread.

Using a rolling pin, flatten the bread slices nicely.

To this spread the butter nicely. You can use either salted or unsalted butter for this. But I have used the salted butter. You can also use the cream cheese.

Sprinkle little sugar cinnamon mixture on this. Add 1 to 2 tsp full of apple mixture near one side of the bread as shown.

Now carefully roll the bread tightly so that the apple mixture does not come outside.

Seal the edges tightly. If you cannot able to seal it, use little water.

Fry the Bread rolls

Now in a dosa tawa or a pan, add little butter and spread it.

Place the bread rolls and fry in low to med flame.

Roll the bread slices in equal interval of time so that it becomes crispy and light brown color on the outside.

Within 2 to 3 min, your bread rolls will be ready, I.e., the outside of the bread becomes light brown color. Remove them.

Sprinkle some of sugar cinnamon mixture on top of the bread rolls before serving. You can also pour little honey or maple syrup if you are sweet toothed.

Serve the bread rolls.

Tasty Apple Cinnamon Bread Rolls is Ready.

Notes

1. Instead of sugar, you can use palm sugar or organic brown sugar
2. You can either use salted or unsalted butter. I prefer salted butter.
3. For bread, you can either use sandwich or milk bread. I prefer milk bread.

Apple Beetroot Carrot Juice | ABC Juice is such a healthy and tasty juice which helps in purifying the blood and is good source of dietary fiber and vitamin c.

Apple Beetroot Carrot Juice | ABC juice

Apple Beetroot and Carrot Juice aka ABC juice is a juice which I started to like 3 months before. Yes just 3 months before only. I really don’t have idea that beet root can be used in the juice. In my office canteen, they opened a new juice shop and in the juices list, they mentioned ABC juice. Wondering what it could be, enquired the shopper and she said it is Apple Beetroot and Carrot juice. I just ordered with a doubt how it might taste and to my surprise, I loved the juice in the first sip itself. From that time, I used to order this juice without sugar and ice. I really love it without sugar and ice. They have a big juice extractor to prepare this ABC juice.

Since i do not have it at home, I used my regular mixer grinder to do this, by adding little water and filtering it. Though the outcome was not same like the canteen juice, still I loved it. (Soon will buy the juice extractor… he he he). If you have the juice extractor, never miss to try this juice.

You can view all the healthy Summer drinks here.

Health Benefits of ABC Juice

How to make ABC Juice

How to make Dates Milkshake / Pereecham pazham milkshake Recipe

I can definitely say that Dates Milkshake is one of healthiest Shake when compared to others. They are rich source of protein, fiber and rich in vitamin B1, B2, B3 and B5, Vitamin A1 and C. Since they contain natural sugars, they can be substituted to sugar in preparing the other milkshakes. I am planning to do so when I prepare the milkshakes. I prepared the dates milkshake when we got some guests. Its so easy and delicious healthy drink ever.

Preparation time: 30 min | Cook Time: 0 min | Serves:4
Recipe Category: Beverages | Recipe Cuisine: International

Ingredients

1. Dates – 1 packet (200 gms)
2. Milk – 1/2 cup hot milk + 2.5 cups cold milk
3. Vanilla Icecream – 4 scoops (optional). 

Method
1. Wash the dates clean

2. Chop them in to pieces

3. Soak them in hot milk for 30 min at least to make it soft. 

4. Transfer this to the food processor or blender. Add the vanilla ice cream.

5. Grind them to a smooth paste. Add the 1/2 the cup of cold milk and give a stir again.

6. Transfer the content to another bowl and add the remaining cold milk and give a stir.  

7. Top it with vanilla ice cream.

Notes: 

1. Adding ice cream is purely optional.
