Apple Butter Cinnamon Rolls
Apple Butter Cinnamon Rolls
We have really been experimenting with cinnamon rolls lately. Last week we shared our Homemade Eggnog Cinnamon Rolls! They are so yummy, so I hope you give them a try. But now we are sharing our Apple Butter Cinnamon Rolls Recipe! This recipe is another total success! My kids would eat cinnamon rolls every morning, if I would let them. I do tend to make them more during the cold months, but like to change it up every once in a while. Adding apple butter to the recipe does the trick!
