Our family really enjoys Apple Cinnamon desserts. One of the most requested is a breakfast item that also is a fun dessert … Easy Apple Cinnamon Rolls. They are kind of like a muffin, kind of like a cupcake, kind of like a mini pie, kind of like a cinnamon roll. But whatever category you put it in, it is definitely super delicious!
Ingredients You Will Need
Preparing the Apples
Step 1: Peel and finely dice three medium-sized green apples.
Step 2: Add 1/4 cup brown sugar and 1 teaspoon cinnamon to the apples.
Step 3: Mix until the apples are completely covered with the sugar/cinnamon mixture. Set the bowl aside.
Assembly Instructions
Step 4: Spray a muffin pan with non-stick cooking spray. Open up the packages of Cinnamon rolls. Press down the cinnamon rolls with your fingers until they are approximately double in size.
Step 5: Press the cinnamon rolls into the muffin tin.
Step 6: Fill the cinnamon roll “cup” with the apple mixture. Don’t overfill the cinnamon roll cups with apples or the mixture will bubble over during the baking process.
Step 7: Bake in a 350-degree oven for 15-18 minutes. The Apple Cinnamon Rolls are done when the edges are golden brown.
How to Make the Icing
Step 8: While the Apple Cinnamon Rolls are cooling .. make up a batch of homemade icing. Melt 4 tablespoons of butter in the microwave.
Step 9: Add 2 cups of powdered sugar and stir until mixed.
Step 10: Then add some milk (start with 1 tablespoon.)
Step 11: Add 2 teaspoons of vanilla. Then add more milk, a little bit at a time until the icing is the right consistency.
Step 12-13: Drizzle the icing on the Apple Cinnamon Rolls right before you serve them. We think these Apple Cinnamon Rolls taste best just after they are baked. And this is how we serve them as part of breakfast or brunch. But they are also great once they are cooled – especially if you pop them in the microwave for 15 seconds.
