<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\nAllow the rolls to cool to room temperature before storing them in an airtight container. This will prevent them from becoming soggy. Store in the refrigerator<\/strong> for up to 3-4 days.<\/p>\n\n\n\nYou can also freeze the rolls<\/strong> for up to 2-3 months. To freeze, wrap the rolls in plastic wrap or aluminum foil, then place them in a freezer-safe container or bag.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTo reheat apple rolls<\/strong>, remove them from the refrigerator or freezer and let them come to room temperature. You can then reheat them in the oven at 350\u00b0F for 5-10 minutes until they are warmed through. You can also microwave them for 10-20 seconds, or until they are warmed through.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/span>Frequently Asked Questions <\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\nCan the shortening be substituted with butter?<\/strong> Yes. Simply substitute half cup of shortening with an equal amount of butter. Make sure the butter is ice cold when cutting or grating into the flour. It should resemble a fine crumble when it's ready.<\/p> <\/div>
Can apple roll be made gluten-free?<\/strong> Absolutely! Use a self-rising gluten free flour instead of regular self-rising flour is an option. If using an all-purpose gluten free flour, add 1 tablespoon baking powder and \u00bd teaspoon salt along with the flour.<\/p> <\/div>
Can I use puff pastry, pie dough, or crescent roll dough instead of homemade dough?<\/strong> While it might turn out to be a delicious dessert, these types of dough yield a completely different texture than this apple cinnamon roll recipe. Homemade is a flaky, rich dough and it takes just a couple minutes to make. It's very similar to biscuit dough. <\/p> <\/div>
Can I add other fruits or nuts?<\/strong> Absolutely! You can add raisins, cranberries, or chopped nuts like walnuts or pecans to the apple filling for extra texture and flavor.<\/p> <\/div>
What kind of apple works best for this recipe?<\/strong> Granny Smith apples work best in many apple desserts as they are tart and hold their shape and balance the sweetness. Honeycrisp apples and cosmic crisp are also excellent options. However, you can use any variety you prefer. I would not recommend using apple pie filling.<\/p> <\/div>
Why use shortening in pastry dough?<\/strong> Using shortening in pastry dough has several benefits, especially when it comes to achieving a tender and flaky texture. Shortening has a higher melting point than butter, which means it stays solid for longer during the mixing and baking process. This allows for the formation of distinct layers within the dough, resulting in a flakier pastry. Additionally, shortening doesn't contain water like butter, so it helps to create a more tender crust by preventing excess gluten formation. For those aiming for a perfectly flaky and tender pastry, incorporating shortening is a tried-and-true method.<\/p> <\/div> <\/div>\n\n\n\n
