The Ingredients
Low Calorie Bread: Choosing low-calorie bread can help reduce the calories and carbohydrates in this recipe while still providing a familiar French toast texture. I like to use Aunt Millie’s Live Carb Smart bread.
Apples: Apples provide fiber, including pectin, which supports digestive health. They’re also a source of vitamin C and antioxidants. Cooking the apples with cinnamon brings out their natural sweetness.
Light Butter: A small amount of light butter adds richness and flavor to the apple filling. Using a measured portion lets you enjoy that buttery taste without adding as much fat as a larger amount of regular butter.
Ground Cinnamon: Cinnamon adds plenty of warm flavor without adding meaningful calories or sugar. It’s a great way to make a lighter recipe taste like a cozy fall treat.
Swerve Brown Sugar: This provides a rich, brown sugar flavor that pairs perfectly with apples and cinnamon, it’s a great option for lighter recipes. It helps create that classic apple pie flavor without using traditional brown sugar.
Eggs: Eggs provide high-quality protein, along with nutrients such as vitamin B12 and choline. They help create the classic French toast coating and make the roll ups more satisfying.
Unsweetened Almond Milk: Unsweetened almond milk adds moisture to the egg mixture without contributing much sugar or calories. It’s also a dairy-free alternative to regular milk.
Vanilla Extract: Vanilla enhances the sweetness and flavor of the egg mixture without requiring additional sugar.

How to Make Apple Pie French Toast Roll Ups
Add the diced apple, light butter, half of the cinnamon, and sweetener to a small skillet. Cook over medium-low heat for 5–7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the apples soften. Add a little extra water if needed. Remove from the heat and let cool slightly.
Cut the crusts off the bread. Use a rolling pin to flatten each slice. This makes the bread easier to roll and helps the roll ups hold their shape.
Spoon a small amount of apple filling along one edge of each bread slice. Roll tightly, pressing the seam gently to help it stay closed.
Whisk the eggs, almond milk, vanilla extract, and remaining cinnamon in a shallow bowl until combined.
Lightly coat a nonstick skillet with cooking spray and heat over medium heat. Quickly dip each roll up in the egg mixture, coating all sides without soaking the bread. Place seam-side down in the skillet.
Cook for about 6–8 minutes, turning frequently, until golden brown and the egg coating is fully cooked.
Sprinkle with a little powdered zero-calorie sweetener if desired. Serve warm while the apple filling is soft and the outside is lightly crisp.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make Apple Pie French Toast Roll Ups ahead of time?
Yes! You can prepare the apple filling a day ahead and store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator. For the best texture, assemble and cook the roll ups shortly before serving. You can also cook them ahead and reheat them in an air fryer or skillet to help crisp up the outside.
How do I keep the bread from falling apart?
Flatten each slice with a rolling pin before adding the filling. Avoid overfilling the bread, and make sure the apple mixture isn’t too wet. Roll each slice tightly and place it seam-side down in the skillet first to help seal it. Dip the roll ups quickly in the egg mixture instead of letting them soak.
What is the best bread to use for Apple Pie French Toast Roll Ups?
I like to use Aunt Millie’s Live Carb Smart white bread. You want to choose a soft, flexible bread that won’t crack when rolled. You can use regular sandwich bread, but the nutritional information and WW Points may be different.
