Made this recipe up and have had lots of raves when I sent them to work with my husband and when we tailgated 2 weeks ago.

Blue Ribbon Recipe

These are probably the simplest cinnamon-type rolls we have ever made. This is great because they're so good, you'll find excuses to make them. The dough rises quickly, so this saves lots of time. The warm cinnamon apples in the center taste so good and fill the kitchen with an aroma of cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves. On top is an easy-to-prepare caramel icing that pairs well with the apple cinnamon center.
