Apple Cinnamon Rolls (Print Version)
# Ingredients:
01 -
1 tbsp milk.
02 -
½ cup powdered sugar.
03 -
¼ tsp vanilla extract.
04 -
2 tablespoons unsalted butter.
05 -
3 medium apples, diced after peeling.
06 -
¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg.
07 -
1 tbsp fresh lemon juice.
08 -
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon.
09 -
2 tbsp brown sugar.
10 -
1 can of refrigerated cinnamon rolls (packed with icing).
# Instructions:
01 -
Heat up some butter in a medium pot on medium heat. Toss in diced apples, sugar, lemon juice, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Stir often and simmer for around 5 to 7 minutes until the apples are nice and soft and everything thickens like caramel. Let the filling rest for a bit to cool.
02 -
Turn your oven on to the temperature that’s listed on the can of cinnamon rolls.
03 -
Unroll the cinnamon rolls just a little and scoop some apple mixture on the dough. Gently roll them back up and arrange them in a greased baking dish.
04 -
Pop the dish into the oven and bake the rolls as directed on the packaging. This usually takes 15-18 minutes until they’re lightly golden.
05 -
While your rolls bake, whip together powdered sugar, a splash of milk, and vanilla until smooth. Adjust the milk as needed for whatever thickness you like.
06 -
Once the rolls have baked and had a chance to cool down a bit, drizzle them with either the included icing or the glaze you made.
07 -
Dig in and enjoy the warm and sweet combo of apples and cinnamon rolls!
# Notes:
01 -
Let the apple filling cool slightly so it doesn’t spread too much when added to the dough.
02 -
It’s up to you whether you drizzle the packaged icing or go with the homemade glaze.
