Home Made Apple Cinnamon Rolls - Healthy Breakfast Treats

I love cinnamon rolls. It reminds me fond memories of the good old days. Looking back I could not believe that every morning I would have one huge cinnamon roll with ton of glaze drizzled over it. As I got older, I tried to be more healthier and stopped eating it altogether. I do miss it though.

Recently, I discovered a really nice recipe from 2mom and I tested it out today. It tasted great. It's not very sweet, and just perfect. I am calling it healthy apple cinnamon rolls. Check them out.



This was my breakfast treat.
