Cinnamon and apple rolls are a true find for cozy baking lovers. This recipe, originating from American cuisine, combines airy dough, caramelized apples, and spicy cinnamon to create a harmony of flavors and aromas.

The yeast-based dough is tender and soft, while the cream cheese glaze makes the rolls even more tempting. They are perfect for morning coffee or tea with family. Try them warm when the glaze is slightly melting and enjoy the taste of home comfort.
