  • Using a knife or a piece of thread, cut each roll into 5 equal slices.
    TIP: It's so important that you keep each slice "tight" when you add them to the baking sheet...otherwise they will open up and filling run out!
  • Lay the slices cut side down onto the parchment paper lined baking sheet.

  • Bake in preheated 375° oven for 18-20 minutes or until golden brown. Be careful to not overcook them which is so easy to do!

GLAZE

  • While rolls are baking, combine sugar with either milk or apple juice, stirring well. Feel free to add more to a consistency you desire.

  • Drizzle the glaze over the rolls while warm.
    TIP: I drizzle them while still on the parchment paper to make it easier for clean up.
