    Homemade scrolls, loaves and muffins make a great option for lunch boxes. Just like our raspberry Nutella scrolls, banana bread and ABCD muffins, these apple and cinnamon scrolls are sure to become a kid-friendly favourite in no time!

    Yeast-Free Cinnamon Scrolls (No Proving Time)

    Our Apple and Cinnamon Scrolls are made without using any yeast... which means there's no need to wait around for the dough to prove and rise! 

    Instead our scrolls are made with self-raising flour (also known as self-rising flour), butter and milk, which means you'll have soft and fluffy sweet scrolls in just minutes.

    Storing Cinnamon Scrolls

    Homemade cinnamon scrolls can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. Alternatively they can be frozen for up to 3 months. Allow to defrost at room temperature before consuming.

    Recipe Notes

    • These cinnamon scrolls are made using no yeast (so there's no need to wait for proving time). Instead, we use self-raising flour which can be baked immediately. 
    • You can buy store-bought self-raising flour from any supermarket (or make your own)
    • Roll the dough out on a floured board until 5mm thick.
    • Our homemade cinnamon butter is made using butter, cinnamon powder and brown sugar.
    • I like to sprinkle small apple chunks of apple over the top of the cinnamon butter which is absolutely delicious, but you can omit the apple for classic cinnamon rolls. 
    • Cut the scrolls into 8-12 pieces and place (slightly touching each other) in a round cake tin.
    • Allowing the scrolls to touch helps them to rise. 
    • Bake until golden and the rolls sound hollow when tapped.
    • A simple icing glaze is made using pure icing sugar (which sets firm) and hot water mixed together. 
    • Allow the scrolls to cool for 10 minutes then remove from the baking tin and place onto a wire rack or serving plate.
    • Pour the glaze over the cinnamon scrolls while they are still slightly warm.

      5 stars
      Easy. Relatively quick. Light scrolls even though no yeast. Very scrummy. I also added a handful of currants and it works well.

      Hi there. Just wondering if it's ok to use a ton of the cooked pie apples instead of the fresh apple?
