Preparation

Step 1

These Easy Apple Cinnamon Rolls can be made and baked in 30 minutes. A warm, gooey roll stuffed with apple goodness is a great way to start out any morning.

Yield: 9 rolls

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Butter an 8x8 pan.
Combine the apples and syrup in a saucepan and cook over medium heat until the juice from the apples is gone. Set aside to cool.
Mix together 2 cups pancake mix, milk, and 1 Tablespoon syrup until a soft dough forms. Sprinkle the counter with the remaining pancake mix and knead the dough a few times. Make sure you keep enough pancake mix under the dough. Gently press the dough into a 12x8 rectangle using your hands.
Spread the cooled apples on top of the dough.
Mix together the sugars, cinnamon, and 1 Tablespoon butter. Sprinkle over the apples. Gently roll the dough up starting from the shorter side. If you dough sticks to the counter, slide a butter knife gently under the roll and push some pancake mix underneath the roll.
Slice the log into 9 even rolls. Place the rolls in the prepared pan. Mix together the remaining Tablespoon of melted butter and syrup. Drizzle over the rolls in the pan. Bake for 20-22 minutes. Remove and cool for a few minutes.
Mix together the frosting ingredients and spread over the warm rolls. Drizzle with extra syrup, if desired.
