💡 Tips & Variations

• Shortcut Version: Use store-bought cinnamon roll dough and just add the homemade apple filling for a quicker treat.

• Add Crunch: Stir in chopped pecans or walnuts with the apple filling for extra texture.

• Make Ahead: Prepare the rolls the night before and store them in the fridge after shaping. Let them come to room temperature before baking.

• Freezer-Friendly: Bake, cool, and freeze the rolls (without glaze). Reheat and glaze just before serving.
