Apple Butter Cinnamon Rolls are the perfect addition to any breakfast. These no yeast Cinnamon Rolls are fast, easy and filled with delicious homemade Apple Butter, then drizzled with a creamy Maple Frosting.

Apple Butter Cinnamon Rolls a quick and easy no yeast dough filled with a yummy Apple Butter filling and topped with a creamy Maple Glaze.

The other day I shared my Stove Top Apple Butter which was quite delicious. The reason I decided to make Apple Butter was because I wanted to make my Mom’s amazing Brown Sugar Pinwheels  and I thought that it would make the perfect filling.

I know a lot of people use it as a dip or as a spread on toast. I actually wanted to make it for the Italian to put on pancakes as a change from Syrup, ah yes the Italian loves his pancakes!

The recipe actually made enough for a couple of recipes I have in mind. So I thought this no yeast biscuit dough that my Mom always used for her pinwheels would work perfect with a filling of Apple Butter.

These Cinnamon Buns are so fast and easy to make. No mixer or food processor needed all mixed together in a large bowl, and then gently kneaded to form a soft dough. You don’t even have to refrigerate it.

I rolled out the dough then I spread it with the filling, rolled it up and sliced it. Before placing the rounds in a 7 inch cake pan, I buttered the pan and sprinkled a little brown sugar on the bottom. They were baked in about 30 minutes.

While they were cooling I made a delicious Maple Frosting, using some of the Syrup I brought back with me from visiting back home in Canada. If you notice I frosted half. My husband prefers them plain. Save the syrup for the pancakes his is motto!

        If I wanted to make a bulk batch of these, would it be best to just make the recipe over and over again, or can I double/triple the recipe and make them in a 9 x 13 or jelly rolly pan?

          Hi Amy, since no yeast is used then you can double it with no problem. Hope you enjoy it.

        I have made my first batch, delicious! Is this a recipe I can make ahead of time, and pop in the oven when I’m ready? If so, do you have any storage ideas?

          Hi Gwen, so glad you liked it. I think as long as you cover the pan with plastic and refrigerate the dough should be fine. Maybe let it sit for 30 minutes out of the fridge before baking. Hope that helps. Happy New Year.

        I’m definitely going to make these for my grandchildren. I really like the idea of no yeast in the dough. I’m never comfortable when a recipe calls for yeast. Thanks for another great recipe.
