Happy Weekend everyone! This beautiful season calls for some delicious Apple Cider recipes.

Yesterday I made my personal favorite Apple Cider Slushie, and today it's time for something more fun and creative to make with Apple cider! How about these delicious Apple Cider Cinnamon Rolls?

These are buttery and sweet on the inside and crusty and creamy on the outside. The Apple cider flavors are distinct in every bite.

This end of Summer and the beginning of Fall is one of the best times of the year. I know people complain that changing weather makes them feel ill.

Well, if you eat seasonally, you'll feel much healthier and more positive. The Red Apples are flooding the farmer's Market and also in my kitchen! 🙂

My Apple Recipe list is endless. I just love working with Apple. Although I am not an ardent Apple lover, I love a delicious Apple Crumble or an Apple Cupcake with Salted Caramel Frosting. However, there is something so seasonal and fresh about Apple desserts, right? In my family, everyone loves Apples. Especially Apple Fritters and Apple Cookies.

Today to surprise everyone, I made these Apple Cider Cinnamon Rolls and everyone was elated. People loved it. It's so simple and so flavorful.

Let's talk about taste

These Apple Cider Cinnamon Rolls have a distinct taste of Apple Cider. The tartness of the Cider is perfectly balanced with the sweetness of Apple - Brown Sugar and Cinnamon Filling. What I love about these Apple Cider Cinnamon Rolls is the frosting. The Cream Cheese, Cinnamon, and Apple Cider frosting add a distinct apple cider punch to these Cinnamon rolls making them extremely delicious and inviting!

How to make Apple Cider Cinnamon Rolls without Yeast

Although, I have made these Apple Cider Cinnamon Rolls with yeast. If you need to make these Apple Cider Cinnamon Rolls without Yeast, then you can add 11/2 teaspoon of Baking Powder and 1/2 teaspoon of Baking Soda along with just 1/2 teaspoon of sour cream or thick Greek yogurt.

All of this will replace the yeast and make your Apple Cider Cinnamon Buns soft and mushy.

Making these Healthy Apple Cider Cinnamon Rolls

So, to make the Cinnamon Roll with Apple Cider, First, I made the filling. I have just combined chopped Apples with Brown Sugar, Pumpkin pie spice, and ground cinnamon for the filling. I mixed it all up and kept it aside.

Then I bloomed my yeast. For that, I placed one sachet of Active dry yeast in a cup full of lukewarm water along with 1 teaspoon of Sugar. Sugar helps bloom the Yeast quickly. And within 2-3 minutes, my yeast was bloomed.

For the third step, I made the dough. For it, I combined All Purpose Flour with Granulated Sugar, Baking Soda, Baking Powder, and cold butter. I mixed the cold butter with the flour using a pastry blender. You can use two forks or just your hands to combine the butter with flour until it reaches a coarse, mealy consistency!

I added my bloomed yeast, vanilla extract, apple cider vinegar, and some milk to this. I mixed it all until my dough was ready. I never over-knead my dough. Just enough so that it comes together.

The Apple Cider vinegar will help activate the yeast better and make your dough rise quickly. Keeping the dough covered and in a warm and humid place is very important. For best results, I preheat my oven to 400F or 200C and then turn off the oven without letting it cool down. I place my dough in the oven for 1 hour, and after 1 hour, it gets perfectly done and doubles up in size.

So, after my dough doubled up, I rolled it on a floured surface until about 1/2 inch thick on all sides.

I trimmed off the edges to make the perfect rectangle and then placed my apple filling in the center. I rolled my dough and cut out small buns of it.

I baked my Apple Cider Cinnamon Rolls for 20 minutes at 350F or 180C.

And after 20 minutes, they were beautifully done to perfection.

I combined Cream Cheese with granulated sugar, vanilla extract, and some apple cider vinegar for the frosting.

I mixed it all up using a handheld mixer and frosted it over my Apple Cider Cinnamon Rolls.

So, this is how to make the best Apple Cider Cinnamon Rolls.

If you want to make a gluten-free version, then use your favorite gluten-free flour. I have also made this with Almond flour, and it tastes yummy! Apple Cider is very healthy and makes for the perfect dessert ingredient.
