We made this Apple Roly Poly dish at Tasmania’s famous “The TASTE of Tasmania” a number of years now.  The Taste of Tasmania was a popular and enduring summer event, with seafood, cheeses, berries, cool-climate wines, boutique beers, ciders, and much more.

The Taste of Tasmania features a fabulous entertainment program, with more than 100 buskers, local musicians, and DJs performing throughout the event.  It’s awesome and we were lucky enough to cook at it – twice.

This Roly Poly was something our grandmother used to make, they are delicious and so easy to whip up.  They make a great dinner party dessert because of how simple they are, but you’ll get a good serving out of them.

We like them served with some pouring cream or our vanilla ice-cream recipe, but the choice is yours.
