Sweet and cinnamon-spiced applescotch rolls feature tender biscuits coated in sugar and cinnamon, arranged in a cozy circle—perfect for breakfast or a comforting treat with family.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Separate the biscuits into individual pieces.
- Mix together the sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl.
- Coat each biscuit piece in melted butter, then cover with the sugar and cinnamon mixture.
- Arrange the coated biscuits in a tight circle around the pan, filling the center as well.
Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider adding a teaspoon of vanilla extract to the melted butter. You can substitute the sugar with brown sugar for a deeper caramelized taste. If you're looking for a healthier option, use whole wheat biscuits and reduce the sugar. Adding chopped nuts or raisins can also provide a delightful texture variation. Be sure not to overcrowd the biscuits in the pan for even cooking.
Serving Suggestions
These Applescotch Rolls are perfect for a cozy breakfast or brunch. Consider serving them with a side of fresh fruit or a dollop of whipped cream. They pair beautifully with coffee or tea for a delightful afternoon treat. For a more indulgent experience, drizzle with caramel sauce or serve alongside a scoop of vanilla ice cream. They also make a great addition to any holiday dessert table.
Storage & Reheating
To store leftovers, let the Applescotch Rolls cool completely before transferring them to an airtight container. They can be kept at room temperature for up to two days. For longer storage, refrigerate them for up to a week. To reheat, place them in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10 minutes until warm. They also taste great when enjoyed cold!

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use homemade biscuits instead of refrigerated ones?
Absolutely! Homemade biscuits will add a personal touch to your Applescotch Rolls. Just ensure they are similar in thickness to the refrigerated ones for even cooking. You can find many American recipes for homemade biscuits online, allowing you to customize the flavors to your liking.
How can I make these rolls more festive for special occasions?
You can elevate the presentation by adding a drizzle of icing or sprinkle powdered sugar on top before serving. Incorporating seasonal spices like nutmeg or ginger can also enhance the festive flavor. For an added touch, consider serving them alongside a warm spiced apple cider to complement the flavors.
Can I freeze the Applescotch Rolls?
Yes, you can freeze the unbaked or baked rolls. If freezing unbaked, arrange the coated biscuits on a baking sheet, freeze until solid, then transfer to a freezer bag. Bake straight from the freezer, adding a few extra minutes to the cooking time. Baked rolls can be stored in an airtight container and frozen for up to three months. Reheat as needed.
