Fall Breakfast Ideas

You can make these caramel apple cinnamon rolls any time of year, but I end up making them a lot during the fall thanks to an abundance of apples! This is a good recipe to make for a Saturday brunch at home. Make sure to serve them warm out of the oven—in my opinion, they are best that way!

Caramel Sauce

These caramel apple cinnamon rolls have a yummy drizzle of caramel. You have a few options for how to make this sauce. The best way to make these cinnamon rolls over-the-top incredible is to make your own butterscotch caramel sauce from scratch. It’s not as hard as you imagine! Secondly, you can use your favorite caramel for this recipe. If I am pressed for time, my personal favorite is Mrs. Richardson’s Butterscotch Caramel sauce- it is really yummy! You can find it next to where the ice cream cones are at the grocery store, or in the baking aisle. If you opt to use caramel from the store, it will need to be warmed up for this recipe. That will help it spread easily over the dough.

Shortcut to Making Dough

Here’s an insider’s tip I use when I’m making these caramel apple cinnamon rolls. Sometimes, I want to make these quickly and make the process a bit easier on myself. So, instead of making dough from scratch, I use Rhodes Bread Dough instead. They actually have a sweet dough, but it’s hard to find, so I usually use their white bread dough. Honestly, I think it is every bit as good as dough from scratch but soooo much easier!!! I just put the dough in a bowl lined with cooking spray, cover it with plastic wrap, and let the dough raise overnight. It’s seriously one of my favorite cooking cheats! For you traditionalists out there, we have an awesome dough base if you still want to make it from scratch. But, for those of you that like things easy, try my trick and I promise I won’t tell your friends. Everyone will think you put so much work into making these from scratch, they won’t be able to tell the difference! READ NEXT: 33+ Super Easy Breakfast Ideas
