Apple Raisin Cinnamon Rolls

Apple Raisin Cinnamon Rolls are filled with tart apples and sweet raisins, combining the delicious flavors in the perfect breakfast treat. 

Over the last year or so, I have been experimenting with different cinnamon roll recipes, and I am loving these Apple Raisin Cinnamon Rolls. They have the perfect blend of tart apple, sweet raisins, delicious gooey brown sugar and butter and then the perfect apple cream cheese frosting. Apple Raisin Cinnamon rolls are the perfect breakfast for apple lovers. This post today is sponsored by Lava, but as always all opinions are my own. 

Now, I am not the world’s best baker, as most of you probably know, so I like to use a few shortcuts when making my ‘own’ cinnamon rolls. I find that using frozen bread dough is the best substitute to homemade dough. Now, if you have the time, go ahead and make your homemade dough for the Apple Raisin Cinnamon Rolls, but I find it super convenient to take the frozen bread dough out of the freezer, put it in the fridge, and then let it defrost over night. Easy!

One the dough is defrosted, you are going to let it get to room temperature. While you are waiting for the dough to come to room temperature, go ahead and make your apple mixture. It’s only a handful of ingredients and takes about 5 minutes to make on the stove top. The Apple Raisin filling is the perfect complement to the rolls and cream cheese frosting.  Once your dough is room temperature, roll it out in a long rectangle and spread your filling all over the top. I always just use my hands to spread the mixture out (careful if it’s hot), and then luckily I keep Lava Soap on hand so I can quickly wash it off. 

I love how the pumice in the soap helps scrub off the sugar and butter mixture. I love Lava Soap because it really gets EVERYTHING off your hands. You don’t have to worry about any greasy oil being left anywhere on your skin. I like to order my soap off Amazon, but they sell it in stores, like Walmart, as well! You can even use Lava Soap outside of the kitchen; it’s great for getting grime, grease, paint, ink, glue and much more off your hands. We keep them all around our house, but especially in the kitchen and in our mud room where I wash my hands after doing dirty work around the house and garage. I love it!  After your hands are clean, roll it up starting from the LONG side and pulling tightly to keep it nice and snug.

Next, slice the Apple Raisin Cinnamon Rolls into about 1.5-2 inch rounds and place into a greased baking pan (cake shape works best, but you can use whatever). Toss them in the oven and then voila! Whip up your frosting too, because cinnamon rolls MUST have cream cheese frosting!

These Apple Raisin Cinnamon Rolls are really the perfect morning treat!
