Apple Cinnamon Rolls
Great for breakfast or dessert!
Servings: 12
Serving Size: 1 Roll
• 4 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 package dry yeast
• 3/4 cup applesauce
• 1/2 cup skim milk
• 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 egg, beaten
Filling:
• 1/4 cup applesauce
• 1/3 cup granulated sugar
• 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
Icing:
• 1 cup sifted confectioner's sugar
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 tablespoon skim milk
In a large bowl, combine 1 1/2 cups of the flour with the yeast. In a small saucepan, combine 3/4 cup applesauce, 1/2 cup skim milk, butter and salt. Heat over medium heat, stirring continuously, until butter is melted. Add to the flour mixture. Add beaten egg. Combine and beat with mixer on low speed until combined. Beat on high speed for 3 minutes. Using a spoon, stir in 2 1/4 cups more flour.
Turn dough out onto lightly floured surface. Knead in enough remaining flour (up to 1/4 cup) to form a soft, smooth and elastic dough. Shape dough into a ball and place into a bowl that has been sprayed with cooking oil spray. Turn to coat all sides of dough. Cover and let rise in a warm place until double in size (about an hour).
Punch dough down and turn out onto a lightly floured surface. Cover and let rest 10 minutes.
Lightly spray two 8 or 9 inch cake pans with cooking oil spray.
On floured surface, roll dough into a 12 inch square. Spread with 1/4 cup applesauce. Combine 1/3 cup granulated sugar and cinnamon and sprinkle over applesauce. Roll up and seal seams. Slice into 12 pieces. Place 6 rolls into each prepared pan, with a cut side down. Cover and let rise until almost doubled (about 30 minutes). Preheat oven to 375°F.
Bake for 20 to 25 minutes or until golden. Cool 5 minutes. Invert onto serving plate. Drizzle with a mixture of confectioner's sugar, vanilla and milk. Serve warm.

Heart Shaped Whole-Wheat Pancakes with Strawberry Sauce
Copyright, 2005, Ellie Krieger, All rights reserved.
Ingredients
3/4 cup all-purpose flour
3/4 cup whole-wheat flour
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 large eggs
1 cup low-fat buttermilk
1/2 cup non-fat milk
1 tablespoon honey
1/4 teaspoon vanilla
Strawberry sauce, recipe follows
Confectioners' sugar, optional
Preheat oven to 200 degrees F. Preheat a large nonstick griddle or skillet over a medium-low flame. In a medium bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients (flour through salt). In another medium bowl, beat together the eggs, buttermilk, non-fat milk, honey and vanilla.
Stir the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, mixing only enough to combine them. The batter will be somewhat lumpy.
Use a 1/3 cup measuring cup to ladle the batter onto the griddle or skillet. Flip the pancake when the top is bubbling and it is golden brown on the bottom. Then cook until the other side is golden brown. Hold on an oven proof plate in the oven until the entire batch is ready. When all the pancakes are ready, cut them into heart shapes with a heart shaped cookie cutter. Ladle about 1/3 cup of the strawberry sauce onto each plate, place pancakes on top and sprinkle with confectioners' sugar, if using.
Strawberry sauce:
16 ounces strawberries, fresh or frozen (unsweetened, thawed)
1 teaspoon lemon juice
2 tablespoons maple syrup
Puree strawberries to a chunky puree. Heat them in a small saucepan over a low flame, until they are just warm. Stir in lemon juice and maple syrup.
