Apple Cinnamon Rolls

As we enter into fall we have a bounty of beautiful apples. I love cinnamon rolls and I love apples so I thought why not combine them? This recipe is light and fluffy and has a drizzle of honey within the cinnamon roll. The apples get nice and tender and caramelized because of the sugar and honey. It is almost like an apple pie inside of a cinnamon roll. Needless to say, I had so much fun making and eating them and I hope you do as well!
