Time 1h10m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 (8 ounce) cans refrigerated crescent rolls
½ cup white sugar
¼ cup brown sugar
1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
¼ cup crushed walnuts
1 Golden Delicious apple, diced
1 cup butter, softened
1 ½ cups white sugar
1 (12 fluid ounce) can or bottle caffeinated citrus-flavored soda (such as Mountain Dew®)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
  • Roll 1 can of crescent rolls out on a cutting board. Make one single piece of dough by rolling the dough with a rolling pin to a 9x13-inch rectangle; make sure the seams don't separate. Repeat with remaining can of crescent rolls. Set 1 dough sheet atop the other to make a double crust.
  • Mix 1/2 cup white sugar, brown sugar, cinnamon, crushed walnuts, and diced apples in a bowl. Sprinkle evenly over the dough.
  • Roll the dough lengthwise, so you end up with a long tube. Cut into 1-inch slices. Place the rolls into prepared dish facing up.
  • Melt butter with 1 1/2 cup white sugar in a saucepan over medium-high heat. Cook and stir until sugar dissolves completely, about 5 minutes. Remove saucepan from heat and whisk citrus-flavored soda into the butter mixture; pour over cinnamon rolls.
  • Bake in preheated oven until golden brown and no longer doughy in the middle, about 30 minutes. Set aside to cool slightly, 5 to 10 minutes. Flip the rolls out of the baking dish onto baking sheet and allow the sticky sauce to drip over the rolls.

APPLE, CINNAMON AND WALNUT ROLLS + CREAM CHEESE CRISPY ROLLS!



APPLE, CINNAMON AND WALNUT ROLLS + CREAM CHEESE CRISPY ROLLS! image

Categories     Cookies     Dessert     Bake     Kid-Friendly     Phyllo/Puff Pastry Dough

Yield 4 people

Number Of Ingredients 13

stick of butter
1 cup of sugar
1.5 cups of flour (sifted, self-rising)
1 teaspoon of baking powder
1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
1 egg
1 tablespoon of sour cream
2 tablespoons of water
For the filling:
3-4 apples
1 teaspoon cinnamon powder
1 tablespoon of sugar
½ cup of chopped walnuts

Steps:

  • The dough: Cut 1 stick of butter (or shred), mix it with 1 cup of sugar and mash the butter with a fork or knife until it will turn into butter crumbs. Add 1 cup of flour, mix very well with butter and sugar. In a cup mix: 1 egg, 2 tablespoons of water +1 tablespoon of sour cream. Pour into the butter-sugar-flour mixture and knead the dough. The dough will be very tender and fragile. Form out of the dough two balls and put the dough into the freezer for 10 minutes. Filling: Wash, peel and chop the apples into the midsized chunks, add sugar, cinnamon and walnuts. Set aside. Forming the rolls: Take out the dough. Take one ball and gently (!) roll it out with the dough roller. Don't press too hard this dough is fragile. Cut the dough layer into two halves. (This will be your two big rolls that you will cut into the small bite size rolls) on one half of the dough put the apple filling. Put not too much of the filling and put it in a row. Then roll the layer with filling in and cut into the small bite size rolls crosswise. Put the small rolls roses on a baking dish 4-5 inches away from each other as they will become bigger while baking. Repeat the same procedure with the second half of your rolled out dough and with the second ball of dough. ***Tip from Helen*** I used for the second dough ball cream cheese filling. The filling is very simple to make ¾ of a cream cheese pack and 2-3 tablespoons of sugar mixed. When you mux the cream cheese and sugar spread it on each dough layer and roll it in as I wrote before. The rest of the procedure is the same.*** I honestly can't decide which rolls are more delicious: with apples and cinnamon and walnuts or with cream cheese. So bake the two versions usually. It's very delicious, simple and warm fall dessert. Enjoy!

Tips:

  • Activate the yeast properly: Use warm water (105-115°F) and a pinch of sugar to activate the yeast. Stir and let it sit for 5-10 minutes until it becomes foamy.
  • Knead the dough well: Kneading develops the gluten in the dough, making it smooth and elastic. Knead for at least 5 minutes, or until the dough is no longer sticky and springs back when you poke it.
  • Let the dough rise in a warm place: This will help the dough double in size and become light and airy. Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover it with plastic wrap, and let it rise in a warm place for 1-2 hours, or until it has doubled in size.
  • Roll out the dough evenly: Use a rolling pin to roll out the dough into a 12x18 inch rectangle. Make sure the dough is of even thickness throughout.
  • Spread the filling evenly: Use a spatula to spread the filling evenly over the rolled-out dough. Leave a 1-inch border around the edges.
  • Roll up the dough tightly: Starting from one of the long sides, roll up the dough tightly into a log. Pinch the edges to seal.
  • Cut the rolls: Use a sharp knife to cut the log into 12 even pieces. Place the rolls in a greased baking dish.
  • Let the rolls rise again: Cover the rolls with plastic wrap and let them rise in a warm place for 30 minutes, or until they have doubled in size.
  • Bake the rolls: Bake the rolls in a preheated oven at 350°F for 20-25 minutes, or until they are golden brown.

These easy and delicious walnut cinnamon rolls are the perfect breakfast treat or afternoon snack. They are sure to be a hit with family and friends. With a few simple tips, you can make these rolls like a pro. So, what are you waiting for? Give this recipe a try today!
