Step-by-Step Instructions
First, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). While that warms up, start by peeling and chopping your apples into small bite-sized pieces. I love the vibrant colors of apples against the soft cinnamon roll dough—it’s such a cheerful sight! Then, in a mixing bowl, toss the chopped apples with ground cinnamon and brown sugar to coat them evenly. The sweet and spicy smell that fills the kitchen at this point is simply irresistible!
