Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Cinnamon Apple Rolls.
Step 1
Start by preheating your oven to a cozy 350°F (175°C) and greasing an 8x8-inch baking pan with a generous layer of butter.
Step 2
In a saucepan, toss in your diced apples along with 2 tablespoons of syrup.
Step 3
Cook them over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the apples become tender and most of the juice has evaporated.
Step 4
Once they’re ready, set them aside to cool and let those delicious aromas fill your kitchen.
Step 5
In a mixing bowl, combine 2 cups of pancake mix with milk and 1 tablespoon of syrup.
Step 6
Stir everything together until a soft dough forms, inviting you to dive right in.
Step 7
On a clean surface, sprinkle a bit of the remaining pancake mix to prevent sticking, then gently knead the dough a few times.
Step 8
Roll it out into a rectangle that measures about 12x8 inches, creating a perfect canvas for your apple filling.
Step 9
Spread the cooled apple mixture evenly over the dough, making sure every bite will be packed with flavor.
Step 10
In a small bowl, mix together brown sugar, granulated sugar, cinnamon, and 1 tablespoon of melted butter.
Step 11
This sweet blend will add a delightful crunch, so sprinkle it generously over the apples.
Step 12
Now comes the fun part! Starting from one of the shorter sides, carefully roll the dough into a log.
Step 13
If it sticks, don’t worry—just use a butter knife to gently lift it and add a little more pancake mix underneath.
Step 14
Once rolled, slice the dough into 9 equal pieces and arrange them in your prepared baking pan, creating a beautiful display.
Step 15
For an extra touch of flavor, mix the remaining tablespoon of melted butter with 1 tablespoon of syrup and drizzle it over the rolls in the pan.
Step 16
Pop them into the oven and bake for 20 to 22 minutes, or until they turn a lovely golden brown.
Step 17
As they bake, your kitchen will be filled with the irresistible scent of sweet apples and cinnamon.
Step 18
Once they’re done, let them cool for a few minutes before serving.
Step 19
If you’re feeling indulgent, whip up your favorite frosting ingredients and spread it over the warm rolls.
Step 20
A drizzle of extra syrup on top will make them even more tempting.
Step 21
Enjoy every delicious bite!.
