Ingredients:

  • 1/2 cup skim milk
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1/2 cup margarine or 1/2 cup butter, softened
  • 1/2 cup warm water
  • 4 1/4 cups flour (may need adjusting)
  • 1 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • 2 (15 oz) cans plain pumpkin
  • 1 1/2 cups light brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup flour (may need adjusting)
  • 2 -4 tbsp apple juice
  • 2 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp ground ginger
  • 1/2 tsp ground nutmeg
  • 1/8 tsp ground cloves
  • 3 pinches salt
  • 1 tbsp melted butter (optional)
  • 1 pinch salt
  • 3 drops maple extract

Directions:

  1. Prepare the dough. Heat the milk and sugar in a pan with the salt and butter, until butter is melted. Cool until lukewarm.
  2. Meanwhile, dissolve the packet of yeast in 1/4 warm water with a pinch of sugar. Stir until dissolved and wait until frothy. Mix the yeast into the lukewarm milk mixture.
  3. Stir in the beaten eggs and 2-3 cups of the flour. Beat until smooth, and then stir in the remaining 2-3 cups of flour, until the dough is smooth and elastic (note: it should be slightly softer/stickier than regular dough bread).
  4. Roll the dough into a ball and place in a large greased bowl. Brush the dough surface with melted butter. Cover with a cloth and allow to sit and rise in a warm place for approximately 1 hour. Punch dough down, and wait 5 more minutes.
  5. While the dough is rising, prepare the filling. Combine the pumpkin puree and apple or lemon juice in a saucepan over low heat. Stir in the spices, salt, and brown sugar. When it is warm, carefully stir in just enough flour to make the mixture thickened a little (about 1/4-1/2 cup). Taste, and adjust the sugar, lemon/apple juice, salt or spices as desired. Remove from the stove and refrigerate until cool.
  6. Preparing the cinnamon rolls: Roll out half the dough into a large rectangle, about 18x9” and 1/4-1/2 inches thick.
  7. Spread with half the chilled pumpkin filling, leaving a 1/2 inch border. Sprinkle with the ground walnuts.
  8. Carefully roll the dough into a cylinder. For larger rolls, roll along the short end. For smaller rolls, roll the dough along the long edge. Moisten and pinch the edges to form a seal.
  9. Repeat with the other half of the dough.
  10. With a sharp non-serrated knife, carefully cut the dough into slices approximately 1 1/2-2 inches thick. Arrange on a greased baking pan (you may require two pans).
  11. Again, cover the dough and let sit approximately 15 minutes in a warm draft-free area.
  12. Bake the rolls in a 350-degree oven for approximately 30 minutes, or until golden brown and fragrant (the cook time will depend upon the size of the rolls- it should be nearly done when your house starts to smell good!).
  13. To make the maple glaze: In a bowl, mix approximately 2 cups of powdered sugar, a tablespoon of melted butter (optional) and a pinch of salt. Carefully add skim milk, a spoonful at a time while stirring, until the mixture reaches the desired consistency. Add a few drops of maple flavor.
  14. Drizzle the icing over the warm cinnamon buns so it forms a glaze.
  15. Chill (recommended) and enjoy!
