Applesauce cinnamon rolls

 

Hello, Friends! I have been spending this week organizing some of my kitchen cupboards. When we moved in, I unpacked all my kitchen appliances in a way I believed I would use them best. Now that we have lived here for six months, I am finding that I am needing to move some items around to make the kitchen more efficient.

I especially want to get everything in place before the holidays kick in. I found some cool kitchen organization items and I will share my favorites in an upcoming post.

These Applesauce Cinnamon rolls only have 5 ingredients. They taste great and are ready in minutes!

Yesterday, I caught a glimpse of a beautiful sunrise over the horizon and snapped it with my iPhone. I shared it on my Instagram Stories, but I want to share it with you here in case you missed it.

A sunrise like this is a great way to start a new day, and soon, a new season. In the meantime, this is an updated Applesauce Cinnamon Rolls recipe from a few years ago but still is quick and easy with only 5 ingredients. It doesn't get much simpler than that.

Hi, I'm Raquel! I am a self-proclaimed foodie and have enjoyed cooking and baking since I was little. I loved baking cookies with my mother and grandma as a child, and later making dinners for my parents to foster my passion while in high school. I also had a passion for organizing and keeping things tidy.
