How to Make Fat Free Cinnamon Rolls

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13 inch baking pan.
  2. In a large bowl, combine 1 cup warm water (105-115°F), 2 ¼ teaspoons active dry yeast, and 1 tablespoon sugar. Let stand for 5-10 minutes until foamy.
  3. Add 1 teaspoon salt, ⅓ cup unsweetened applesauce, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract to the yeast mixture.
  4. Gradually add 4 cups all-purpose flour, 1 cup at a time, mixing until a soft dough forms. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic.
  5. Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, turning to coat. Cover and let rise in a warm place for 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
  6. While the dough is rising, prepare the cinnamon filling: In a medium bowl, combine ½ cup brown sugar, 2 tablespoons cinnamon, and ¼ cup raisins (optional).
  7. Punch down the risen dough and roll it out into a 12x18 inch rectangle.
  8. Spread the cinnamon filling evenly over the dough.
  9. Tightly roll the dough up from the long side.
  10. Cut the roll into 12 equal slices.
  11. Place the slices cut-side up in the prepared baking pan.
  12. Cover and let rise for another 30 minutes.
  13. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until golden brown.
  14. Let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy with a fat-free glaze (optional).
