Apple Cinnamon Rolls

I was in the mood to bake with apples today
and I thought to myself there must be something on pinterest 
that using both apples and cinnamon rolls.
I came across this idea from Six Sisters' Stuff
but they used pie filling in a can which I did not have.
So I looked up an easy Apple Pie Filling recipe 
and found one at Food.com.

Ingredients for filling:
4 cups diced apples
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1/2 cup sugar
{depending on sweetness of apples, to taste}
2 -4 tablespoons cornstarch
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg, to your taste
1 teaspoon cinnamon, to your taste
1 cup apple juice or 1 cup water
{Try to use juice because it adds to the flavor}

Directions:
1. Sprinkle lemon juice over apples in saucepan.
2. Mix next four ingredients together and add to apples.
3. Mix well.
4. Add very hot juice to pan, 
{I microwave juice for 2 minutes}
 cook, stirring constantly until thickened.
5. Remove from heat and cool.


Next I put premade cinnamon rolls in a round dish 
and added the apples on top.


I baked the cinnamon rolls for 15 minutes.
I checked to make sure the rolls were done and
they were a little doughy still so put them in for another 5 minutes.
When they were done I added the frosting that came 
with the  cinnamon rolls.
Let cool and serve!
