Oh my god I made some cinnamon rolls and they turned out a little dry, This recipe made them even better, it was so good and soo easy
Whoop Whoop! That’s what I like to hear!
I hate when people comment how great a recipe is, and go on with “I only changed x,x,x, and x…and added….”😬 but yeah, I used premade wrapped cinnamon rolls, and let them soak for an hour or so before cooking. I replaced half the sugar with brown sugar, and I also peeled and chopped an apple to add in. It was fabulous!! Thanks for the recipe, even if I adjusted slightly☺️
Hahah! I am glad it came out how you like it!
