A recipe for amazing apple cinnamon rolls topped with cream cheese frosting.
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons butter (melted)
- 1 Loaf frozen white bread (thawed)
filling
- 1 apple (finely diced)
- 1 cup walnuts (finely chopped)
- 1/4 cup brown sugar (packed)
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 2 tablespoons sugar
frosting
- 4oz cream cheese (room temperature)

Note
This Apple Cinnamon Roll recipe is a twist on the Hazelnut Cinnamon Rolls from Giada De Laurentiis.
Directions
| Step 1 | Brush melted butter on the bottom and sides of an 8in. square pan. Set aside for later. |
| Step 2 | Combine apples, walnuts, cinnamon, brown sugar, and regular sugar together in a bowl. |
| Step 3 | Roll the bread dough out to approximately 9" x 12". Carefully spoon the filling onto the dough, making sure to leave a 1/2" border around the edges. |
| Step 4 | Roll the dough, jelly-roll style, along the long edge and pinch the ends to seal the dough. |
| Step 5 | Cut the roll into nine equal pieces. Carefully move to the greased pan. |
| Step 6 | Bake at 325 degrees for 25 minutes. |
| Step 7 | To create the frosting, combine the cream cheese, powdered sugar, and water. Stir until creamy. |
| Step 8 | Spread the frosting over the apple cinnamon rolls when they come out of the oven. Serve warm. |
