I can never say no to anything with Apple and Cinnamon in it, and these Apple and Cinnamon Scrolls are no exception! Perfect for the lunchbox, freezer friendly and both regular and Thermomix instructions included.

I love all things Apple and Cinnamon and these scrolls are certainly up there with one of my favourite recipes. This recipe uses my go to scroll dough (which I’ve also used to make these easy Cinnamon Scrolls, Blueberry Scrolls and Ham, Cheese and Mustard Scrolls) and it really does never fail me.

Some tips for making scrolls include:

  • Pop your dough into the fridge to chill before cutting into slices as this will help the scrolls to keep their round shape.
  • Use chilled butter when making the dough.
  • Use the sharpest knife you have to slice the scrolls.
  • These Apple and Cinnamon Scrolls can be stored in the freezer in an airtight container for up to two months.

This recipe will make around 12 scrolls and although they are just delicious when eaten still warm, you can also pop some into the freezer for an easy lunchbox snack. If you are watching your sugar intake, you can also certainly leave off the vanilla icing, I promise these scrolls will still taste just perfect!

    I ended up adding yeast to mine and doing a set rise. Is a great lil recipe but lift is an issue. It really depends on oven and flour type too.

      Hi Sharyn, Could you maybe have used plain flour instead of self-raising?

      You are not alone mine didn’t rise either and I definitely used sr flour . No idea why. Looks like I used ready rolled puff pastry. Still taste OK though just a lot drier like a pastry. Is the oven temp for fan oven or conventional? Thinking maybe that’s where I went wrong ?

    Hello, can you substitute the flour to gluten free?
