Notes
Optional:
- After apples are baked, in a small bowl, take icing from cinnamon rolls use as is or add in 1 ounce of softened cream cheese and mix thoroughly.
- I added in a couple of tablespoons of the apple dumpling sauce to the icing just for fun. Drizzle icing over dumplings!
- Serve with a large scoop of ice cream and hold me back! This is incredible, and I can’t quit thinking about the way they tasted!
- You could also get the Cinnabon cinnamon rolls and use that icing instead as well. :)
