How to Make Apple Spice Cinnamon Rolls
Set your oven to 350 degrees.
Combine and mix the brown sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl.
On a light floured countertop, pop and unroll crescent dough.
Brush the dough with melted butter and pour over the cinnamon mixture.
Then, add your pre-diced apples on top.
Roll your dough in the shape of a tube.
Take a knife, and slice the dough into 1 1/2″ pieces.
Place them a bit apart on a 11 x 14″ baking sheet.
Continue to do with steps 3-8 with each one.
For 30 minutes, bake in your oven until its light brown.
Prepare the glaze while you bake your rolls.
Mix your cream cheese and the softened butter in a large bowl.
Pour in the vanilla and powdered sugar until well mixed.
Pour in the heavy cream, slowly in small amounts until you meet the desired thickness.
Let your rolls rest and cool for about 10 minutes.
Drizzle glaze and dig in!
Can These Be Made Ahead?
For the best outcome and results for your cinnamon rolls, you would want them baked and prepared fresh. This will allow for a better taste, but will last several days. If it comes down to it, you always want to make sure to store your rolls correctly by putting them in an airtight container for up to 3 days in the fridge.
Do I Have to Serve with Icing?
Not only, can you enjoy this delicious dessert warm or cold with icing, but they also taste about the same and are even better with the added icing? If you would choose not to add the glaze for that extra sweet flavor, then that’s OK! You don’t have to serve with any icing and they will still taste amazing.
