To start I have to say that pinterest is pretty awesome. I didn't do it for a while thinking it as no different than any other of those media sites, but I checked it out after some urging from my amazing mother and I saw some pretty awesome stuff. I always like to look at the food stuff, and then I saw a picture of these apple cinnamon roll things, and I was drawn in! I tried making them and they turned out awesome! I highly recommend trying them! Oh and WARNING! THEY ARE STICKY!
Edit: I made these recently will bourbon soaked raisins and that made them even better! So if you would like to do that add raisins that have been soaked in a third cup of bourbon for forty minutes. Then have a cream cheese frosting with three tablespoon of reduced bourbon mixed in it.
