Brenda Swank on 2024-11-18 (5 stars): I made these with a homemade bread recipe instead of Pillsbury. OMG I was doing a happy dance they were amazing.
Slovak, Jo on 2025-01-29 (5 stars): While mine didn't look quite as nice as yours, they were delicious!
Diane Babin on 2025-02-02 (5 stars): I just made this recipe, and it’s delicious! Next time I’ll peel the apple and cook them 12 minutes.
Ben Spigle on 2025-06-10 (5 stars): Thanks so much for the inspiration! I riffed off of this, melting 3 tbsp butter with 1/4 c brown sugar, 1 tsp of cinnamon, 1/8 tsp each of mace, cloves and nutmeg and 1/4 tsp each of ginger and allspice along with 1 tbsp of apple cider vinegar and 1/2 tsp vanilla extract. I then simmered the apple slices in this butter mixture while doing the rest of the preparation, probably 10 or 12 minutes. For the rollups I divided 2 oz of cream cheese into 8 squares and rolled that up with the simmered apple slices. We make this recipe all the time. To be honest the cream cheese is probably the big deal, with the vinegar being also nice. If you don't have all the spices using whatever you have should be great.
