I can never say no to anything with Apple and Cinnamon in it, and these Apple and Cinnamon Scrolls are no exception! Perfect for the lunchbox, freezer friendly and both regular and Thermomix instructions included.
I love all things Apple and Cinnamon and these scrolls are certainly up there with one of my favourite recipes. This recipe uses my go to scroll dough (which I’ve also used to make these easy Cinnamon Scrolls, Blueberry Scrolls and Ham, Cheese and Mustard Scrolls) and it really does never fail me.
Some tips for making scrolls include:
- Pop your dough into the fridge to chill before cutting into slices as this will help the scrolls to keep their round shape.
- Use chilled butter when making the dough.
- Use the sharpest knife you have to slice the scrolls.
- These Apple and Cinnamon Scrolls can be stored in the freezer in an airtight container for up to two months.
This recipe will make around 12 scrolls and although they are just delicious when eaten still warm, you can also pop some into the freezer for an easy lunchbox snack. If you are watching your sugar intake, you can also certainly leave off the vanilla icing, I promise these scrolls will still taste just perfect!

Apple and Cinnamon Scrolls
Ingredients
- 2 cups self raising flour
- 90 grams butter
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ⅔ cup milk
Filling
- 50 g butter softened
- 1 tablespoon cinnamon
- 2 apples peeled and roughly chopped
Icing
- 1 cup icing sugar
- 2 tablespoons boiling water
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 210 degrees and line an oven tray with baking paper.
- Sift the flour and salt together in a large bowl before rubbing in the butter until the mixture is the consistency of bread crumbs.
- Slowly add the milk and use a butter knife to combine. Turn out the dough and knead until it forms a smooth ball.
- Use a rolling pin to roll dough out until you have a 30 x 40cm rectangle.
- Spread the softened butter over the dough, leaving a 2cm gap around the edges.
- Sprinkle the apple pieces and cinnamon over the top of the butter.
- Starting at the long side carefully roll the dough until enclosed.
- Place the scroll log into the fridge for 20 mins to chill.
- Cut into 12 slices – approximately 2cm thick.
- Place on a baking tray, making sure you leave enough room to rise and bake in oven for 20 minutes or until golden brown on top and cooked through.
- Let the scrolls cool on the tray for 5 minutes. In the meantime, combine the icing sugar, boiling water and vanilla extract to make the icing. Drizzle the icing over the top of the still warm scrolls.
- Allow the scrolls to cool for a further 5 minutes and enjoy!

I ended up adding yeast to mine and doing a set rise. Is a great lil recipe but lift is an issue. It really depends on oven and flour type too.
Catherine
Delicious! They were light on the inside and slightly crunchy on the outside.

Hi. My apple cinnamon scrolls didn’t rise just wo during what I done wrong
Lauren Matheson
Hi Sharyn, Could you maybe have used plain flour instead of self-raising?
Emma
You are not alone mine didn’t rise either and I definitely used sr flour . No idea why. Looks like I used ready rolled puff pastry. Still taste OK though just a lot drier like a pastry. Is the oven temp for fan oven or conventional? Thinking maybe that’s where I went wrong ?
Emma
Hello, can you substitute the flour to gluten free?
Lauren Matheson
Hi Emma, you sure can 🙂 You may need a little extra milk though x
Sandi
Is that 210 degree F or C?
Lauren Matheson
Hi Sandi, it’s celsius x
