Recipe Card
ingredients
- 3 apples, peeled and diced
- 2 tablespoons coconut oil
- 1/4 cup maple syrup
- 1 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon
- 1 (8 count) can store-bought cinnamon rolls (like Pillsbury Grands)
Method
Apple Pie Filling:
Step 1
In a saucepan over medium heat, combine the diced apples and coconut oil. Sauté for about 5 minutes until the apples begin to soften.
Step 2
Add the maple syrup and ground cinnamon to the saucepan. Stir well and let it simmer for an additional 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld. Set aside to cool slightly.
Assemble the Rolls:
Step 1
Preheat the oven to the temperature specified on the store-bought cinnamon roll package.
Step 2
Unroll the pre-made cinnamon rolls onto a clean surface. Each roll should form a long strip of dough.
Step 3
Spoon the prepared apple pie filling onto each strip, spreading it evenly across the dough.
Step 4
Carefully roll up each strip of dough with the apple pie filling inside. Place the rolls in a greased baking dish or on a lined baking sheet, ensuring they are spaced apart.
Step 5
Follow the baking instructions on the package of store-bought cinnamon rolls. Typically, bake for the recommended time or until the rolls turn golden brown and are cooked through.
Icing:
Step 1
While the cinnamon rolls are baking, mix the provided icing from the package with a little extra maple syrup and cinnamon. Adjust the quantities to taste.
Step 2
Once the cinnamon rolls are baked and slightly cooled, drizzle the homemade maple-cinnamon icing over the warm rolls. Serve warm.
