PIES AND TACOS
These Apple Pie Cinnamon Rolls are soft and fluffy, with apple pie filling, and topped with cream cheese glaze.
Let’s start by making the dough. We are using my regular cinnamon roll dough, which is rich and easy to make.
To make the apple filling, peel and chop the apples into small bits. Place the diced apples, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt, and water in a large saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring occasionally.
Before you are ready to assemble the rolls, make the Apple Cinnamon Filling. Mix the butter with the light brown sugar and cinnamon.
Pour the Apple Cinnamon Filling on top of the dough. Roll it into a log. Slice the log using floss.
While the rolls bake, make the cream cheese icing and keep it covered. Beat the butter and cream cheese together. Add the powdered sugar, and mix until combined. Then add the salt and vanilla and mix.
Spread the frosting on top of the rolls while they are still warm. Let them cool down for a bit and serve. The luscious cream cheese glaze adds a layer of decadence to the sweet delicious rolls.
This recipe is a delectable twist on the classic cinnamon rolls.
