Cinnamon Roulade With Roasted Apple-Cream Cheese Filling
- APPLE-CREAM CHEESE FILLING
- 2 large Fuji apples, peeled and cut into 1/2-inch cubes (about 1 lb.)
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- 2 (8-oz.) pkg. cream cheese, softened
- 3 tablespoons salted butter, softened
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/8 teaspoon table salt
- 1 1/2 cups (about 6 oz.) powdered sugar
- CAKE
- 4 large eggs, separated
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar, divided
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3/4 cup (about 2 7/8 oz.) bleached cake flour
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 3/4 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon table salt
- 6 tablespoons powdered sugar, divided
- Prepare the Apple-Cream Cheese Filling: Preheat oven to 400u0b0F. Place apples and 1 tablespoon granulated sugar in a bowl; toss well to coat. Spread apples in a single layer on a baking sheet coated with cooking spray. Bake in preheated oven until tender and well browned, about 20 minutes, stirring after 10 minutes. Remove apples from pan, and cool completely.
- Meanwhile, beat cream cheese, butter, 1 teaspoon vanilla, and 1/8 teaspoon salt with an electric mixer at medium speed until smooth, about 1 minute. Add 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar; beat until smooth, about 1 minute. Fold in roasted apples. Refrigerate until ready to use.
- Prepare the Cake: Preheat oven to 400u0b0F. Coat a 17- x 12-inch rimmed baking sheet with cooking spray; line with parchment paper. Coat parchment with cooking spray.
- Beat egg yolks and 1/2 cup granulated sugar at high speed until thick and pale, about 5 minutes. Beat in 1 teaspoon vanilla. Using clean, dry beaters, beat egg whites in a separate bowl at medium speed until foamy. Increase speed to high, and beat until soft peaks form. Add remaining 1/4 cup granulated sugar, 1 tablespoon at a time, beating at high speed until medium peaks form. Stir one-fourth of egg white mixture into egg yolk mixture; gently fold in remaining three-fourths egg white mixture.
- Sift together cake flour, cinnamon, baking powder, and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Sift cake flour mixture over egg mixture, 1/4 cup at a time, folding in until blended after each addition. Spread batter in prepared baking sheet.
- Bake at 400u0b0F until puffed and lightly browned on top, 8 to 10 minutes. Cool 5 minutes. Sprinkle 4 tablespoons powdered sugar over top of cake. Invert cake onto a parchment paper-lined surface. Peel off top layer of parchment paper from cake. Starting at 1 short side, roll cake and bottom parchment together. Transfer to a wire rack, and cool completely, about 30 minutes.
- Unroll cake onto a flat surface. Spread Apple-Cream Cheese Filling over top, leaving a 1-inch border on all sides. Starting at 1 short side and using parchment paper as a guide, roll up cake in jelly-roll fashion. Place cake on a platter, seam side down. Sprinkle top and sides with remaining 2 tablespoons powdered sugar. Serve immediately.
