Eggless Apple Cinnamon Rolls Recipe
These Eggless Apple Cinnamon Rolls have gooey centers, golden brown edges, and a generous drizzle of sweet cream cheese icing on top! The perfect way to kick-start your morning.
They’re big, fluffy, and you can make them as overnight rolls! Each bite combines our favorite flavors of apple pie with the pure goodness of cinnamon rolls.
These are great for breakfast or brunch on a crisp holiday morning, along with a cup of NESCAFE® CLASICO™ coffee, but perfect all year round!
I love my morning coffee; there isn’t a morning I go without it. It’s the only time in the day that everybody is still sleeping, and I can sit down to enjoy a fresh cup of coffee. My thoughts are my own at that moment before the chaos of the day begins.
And NESCAFÉ CLÁSICO Dark Roast is my favorite since it delivers rich, bold flavor in every cup. Crafted with 100% real coffee, you can taste the quality instantly.
I usually buy NESCAFE® CLASICO™ at my local Walmart. Shop at your Walmart here!

HOW TO MAKE EGGLESS APPLE CINNAMON ROLLS:
1 – Make the Dough:
You can make with a mixer or by hand, but it requires a bit of arm muscle. After the dough comes together in the mixing bowl, knead until it’s elastic and no longer sticky.
2 – Make the Filling:
The apple filling is pretty easy to make. You just have to make sure to remove the extra liquid if necessary.
3 – Form the Rolls:
Roll the dough out into a rectangle. Spread the butter on top, then evenly sprinkle the cinnamon and brown sugar mixture. Top with apple mixture. Tightly roll up the dough and cut into 8 or 12 equal rolls. Place in a lined and greased baking pan and cover tightly with aluminum foil.
PRO TIP: You can try using dental floss to cut the rolls instead of a knife.
4 – Rise:
The rolls rise in a warm oven for 20 – 30 minutes.
5 – Bake:
Bake until the rolls are golden brown. If the rolls are browning too much, about halfway through the bake time, cover the baking pan loosely with aluminum foil.
6 – Make the Glaze:
Whisk all of the icing ingredients together and then drizzle over warm rolls. Serve warm!
CAN I MAKE THESE ROLLS AHEAD OF TIME?
Yes, you can! Just follow these simple steps:
- To prepare the night before serving, prepare the dough, make the apple filling, and form the rolls. Cover the rolls tightly and refrigerate for 8-12 hours.
- The next day, preheat the oven to 200º F (90º C) for 10 minutes; turn off the oven. Place rolls in the warm oven, close the oven door and let the rolls rise until they look slightly puffy; approximately 20 -25 minutes.
- Then Preheat the oven to 375º F (190º C). Uncover the rolls and bake for 20-25 minutes, until the rolls are lightly golden brown, and the center of the rolls are cooked through (or until the internal temperature reaches 185º F / 90º C). While the rolls are baking, prepare the icing.
- Spread the icing over the rolls and serve immediately.
