RV Breakfast Apple Cinnamon Rolls and the Contest Winner

We are just back from our annual camping trip to the mountains where there is no cell phone reception and no wi-fi. What we do have is a cozy trailer where we sleep better than we do at home since there are no chores waiting for us when we wake up. I enjoy baking in that little kitchen and find that blessing our camping neighbors with treats from my trailer oven is both fun and a great way to make new friends. I made these breakfast rolls and shared them with a couple from Germany who was on their honeymoon and touring beautiful British Columbia in a rented motorhome.

Whether you bake these at home for special breakfast or in an RV, they will be welcomed by your neighbors where ever you live.

2 cups flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
3 teaspoons baking powder
2 tablespoons sugar
1/3 cup shortening
1 egg
1 cup of heavy cream
1/2 apple, shredded
2 tablespoons soft or melted butter
1/2 cup brown sugar
cinnamon

Preheat oven to 375 F.
Stir together the flour, salt, sugar and baking powder and cut in shortening with a pastry blender.
Beat the egg in a small bowl and add the whipping cream and then stir both together into the flour mixture. Stir until combined.
Roll into a rectangle and spread with melted butter, sprinkle with brown sugar and cinnamon and then the shredded apple.
Roll up starting from the longest side and cut into 16 - 1 inch slices. Place on a greased cookie sheet and bake about 20 minutes or until light brown and set. In the trailer I bake them on two 9 X 11 foil pans. In a conventional oven they would fit onto one cookie sheet

While still warm, ice the rolls with a with a simple icing made by mixing together icing sugar and whipping cream until it is a spreadable consistency. Serve warm.

There is a contest winner to announce today as well!

Congratulations Mimi!
