For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a pinch of nutmeg or allspice to the cinnamon-sugar mixture. If you prefer a less sweet roll, you can reduce the amount of sugar in the filling and/or the sauce. These rolls are best served warm, but they can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. Reheat gently before serving.

Follow The Directions
01
StepPrepare the Apple-Cinnamon Sauce: In a small saucepan, whisk together the butter, heavy cream, 1/2 cup light brown sugar, applesauce, and vanilla extract. Cook over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens to a luscious, syrupy consistency (approximately 15-20 minutes).
02
StepGet Ready to Bake: Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease an 8-inch cake pan with non-stick cooking spray to prevent sticking and ensure easy removal.
03
StepShape the Rolls: Unroll the refrigerated pizza dough on a lightly floured surface. Gently stretch or roll it into an 8x12-inch rectangle, positioning it so the shorter side faces you. In a small bowl, combine the remaining 1/4 cup light brown sugar, granulated sugar, and cinnamon. Sprinkle this mixture evenly over the dough, gently pressing it in so it adheres well.
04
StepRoll and Slice: Starting from the edge closest to you, tightly roll the dough away from you into a log about 12 inches long and 2 inches in diameter. Using a sharp knife, carefully cut the log into 8 equally thick slices – these are your cinnamon rolls!
05
StepBake and Glaze: Arrange the cinnamon rolls in the prepared cake pan. Bake for 20 minutes, or until they begin to turn golden brown. Remove from the oven and generously pour the apple-cinnamon sauce over the rolls, allowing it to seep into every layer. Return the pan to the oven and bake for another 15 minutes, or until the rolls are puffed, golden brown, and the sauce is bubbling.
06
StepCool and Serve: Let the pan cool slightly on a wire rack for about 10 minutes before serving. This allows the sauce to thicken slightly and the rolls to become easier to handle. Enjoy warm!
