Apple Cinnamon Rolls
Serves 12
- 3 to 3 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
- ¼ cup sugar
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 package active dry yeast
- 1 cup Mott's® Natural Apple Sauce
- ¼ cup margarine or butter
- 1 egg
Filling:
- ¼ cup margarine or butter, softened
- ¾ Mott's® Natural, Cinnamon, or Chunky Apple Sauce
- ¼ cup firmly packed brown sugar
- ¼ cup chopped nuts
- 1 ½ teaspoons cinnamon
In small bowl, combine 1-cup flour, sugar, salt and yeast; blend well. In small saucepan, heat 1 cup apple sauce and 1/4 cup margarine until very warm (120 to 130°F.). Add warm liquid and egg to flour mixture. Blend at low speed until moistened; beat 2 minutes at medium speed. Stir in 1 3/4 to 2 cups flour to form a stiff dough.
On floured surface, knead in 1/4 to 3/4-cup flour until dough is smooth and elastic, about 5 to 10 minutes. Place in greased bowl; cover loosely with plastic wrap or cloth towel. Let rise in warm place until light and doubled in volume, about 30 minutes.
Grease 13x9-inch pan. On lightly floured surface, roll dough into 15x12-inch rectangle. Spread 1/4-cup margarine evenly over dough. In small bowl, combine 3/4-cup apple sauce, brown sugar, nuts and cinnamon; spread evenly over margarine. Starting with 12-inch side, roll up tightly, pressing edges to seal. Cut into 12 (1-inch) slices; place cut side down in prepared pan. Cover with plastic wrap; refrigerate overnight.
When ready to bake, uncover rolls; let stand at room temperature 30 minutes. Heat oven to 350°F. Bake 25 to 35 minutes or until golden brown. Cool 5 minutes; remove from pan. If desired, drizzle with powdered sugar glaze.
