Wheat Flour Cinnamon Apple Rolls
These cinnamon apple rolls take cinnamon rolls to the next level. AND you might think they are a little healthy with the wheat flour and fresh apples 🙂
Just make the dough, let it rise, spread the cinnamon sugar and apples, roll it up, bake it in the oven, and top it with cream cheese icing!
Earthly Choice sent me a gift basket earlier this month and included apple flour. I had never heard of apple flour until now. You might be wonder what apple flour is…it’s wheat flour with apple peel powder. If you don’t have apple flour in your pantry use wheat flour and this will taste just as delicious.
These are perfect for breakfast, brunch, dessert, or any holiday party! If you don’t have as much time in the morning, make the dough the night before and let it rise overnight. It will be ready to bake in the morning!
