Ingredients
Instructions
- Roll the dough thin in a circle.
- Place 1/2 cup of peeled, chopped apples in the center of the dough.
- Top the apples with 1 tablespoon of sugar.
- Wrap the dough around the apples and sugar to form a roll.
- Place each roll in a 6 x 10-inch pan.
- Put a pat of butter or margarine on each roll.
- Bake in a 425°F oven for 30 minutes or until golden brown.
- Remove from oven and allow to cool slightly.
Tips & Substitutions
For a delightful twist, try using Granny Smith apples for a tart flavor or add a sprinkle of cinnamon for extra warmth. If you’re short on time, canned biscuits work perfectly, but homemade dough can elevate the dish. To make the rolls even richer, consider adding a drizzle of honey over the apples before wrapping the dough.
Serving Suggestions
These apple rolls are delightful when served warm, perhaps with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream on the side. For a complete meal, consider pairing them with a light salad or serving alongside a hearty dish like Thrifty Tennis Casserole (Simple, Hearty, But Good) for a balanced experience.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover apple rolls in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. To reheat, place them in a 350°F oven for about 10 minutes until warmed through and the exterior is crisp again. Alternatively, use a microwave for quick heating, but note that this may make the rolls softer.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use different types of apples for this recipe?
Absolutely! While tart apples like Granny Smith are ideal, you can experiment with sweet varieties such as Fuji or Honeycrisp. Just remember to adjust the sugar amount based on the sweetness of the apples to achieve the desired flavor.
What can I do if I don't have sweet milk?
If sweet milk isn't available, you can easily substitute it with regular milk by adding a tablespoon of sugar for sweetness. Alternatively, using half-and-half can also work well, providing a richer flavor and creaminess to the dish.
Can I freeze the apple rolls after baking?
Yes, you can freeze the baked apple rolls! Allow them to cool completely, then wrap each roll tightly in plastic wrap and place them in a freezer-safe bag. They can be stored for up to three months. To enjoy them, simply reheat in the oven from frozen.
