Tips:

Choose the Right Apples: For the best flavor and texture, use firm, tart apples such as Granny Smith, Braeburn, or Honeycrisp.
Roll the Dough Thin: This will ensure that the roly-poly cooks evenly and has a flaky crust.
Don't Overfill the Dough: Leave some space at the edges so that you can easily seal the dough.
Seal the Dough Well: This will prevent the filling from leaking out during baking.
Brush with Milk or Egg Wash: This will give the roly-poly a golden brown crust.
Bake Until Golden Brown: Keep an eye on the roly-poly while it's baking and remove it from the oven when it's golden brown.
Serve Warm: Apple roly-poly is best served warm with a scoop of ice cream or dollop of whipped cream.
