- Place an apple slice on the largest end of the dough.
- Starting at the end with the apple slice, roll the apple up in the dough completely. Then pinch the sides together to close as much as possible. (this will help with any sugar leaking out as much).
- Place the on the baking sheet and brush the tops with the remaining melted butter. Bake for 11-12 minutes until golden brown.
- Remove from the oven and immediately remove from the baking sheet so any leaked melted sugar doesn't harden.

- Enjoy plain or topped with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream.
Notes
Use any apple you prefer. I would not use Golden delicious as they tend to get a little mushier.
Use about a 1 to 1 ½ tablespoons of apple pie filling instead of fresh apples.
You can peel the apples if you’d like.
Use apple pie spice in place of cinnamon.
