Cinnamon Apple Shortcakes
I’m here to win something.
Don’t ask me what, because the truth is, I really don’t know. But when someone, say, oh, KING’S HAWAIIAN ® tells you to create an amazing recipe, post it, and you can WIN something, it really doesn’t matter what the prize is, does it?
No.
I just like to win. In fact, maybe I didn’t really understand that getting my way is my M.O., but someone pointed that out to me today…so, what? So what if I do. Who doesn’t like to win?
But let’s get back to the matter at hand.
As I mentioned, KING’S HAWAIIAN ® contacted me to see if’ I would create a recipe using their Dinner Rolls. Sweet, soft, good with just about anything, I of course said yes. And a slather of butter would have been winner enough for me, but, no…that’s not really good enough, is it? No.
You know what is?
Cinnamon Apple Shortcakes.
As you know, KING’S HAWAIIAN® Dinner Rolls are already nice and sweet, so why not take advantage and use them in a dessert? A few sautéed apples, brown sugar, butter, cinnamon, and lots of freshly whipped cream turn these rolls into dessert in no time flat.
Give it a go!
Cinnamon Apple Shortcakes
Ingredients
- 8 KING’S HAWAIIAN ® Dinner Rolls
- melted butter, as needed
- 2 Granny smith apples
- ½ Cup light brown sugar
- 2 Tablespoons Cinnamon
- 3 oz butter
- 2 cups sweetened whipped cream
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350. Halve and brush the dinner rolls with melted butter. Toast in the oven until lightly browned, 5-7 minutes. Set aside.
- While the rolls are toasting, peel the apples, cut each into quarters and then cut the core section off. Cut each quarter into thirds.
- In a pan, melt the butter and add the brown sugar and cinnamon. Add the apples and mix until the apples are completely coated.
- Reduce the heat to medium low, stirring once in a while until the apples are completely cooked.
- To serve, place half of each roll on a plate. Top with apples, followed by whipped cream. Add other half of roll, repeat with apples and whipped cream. Drizzle with pan juices, if desired.
