2 tablespoon Granulated sugar
1 pack Active dry yeast
2 tablespoon Butter
Three fourths cup Unsweetened Apple Sauce
One half teaspoon Salt
1 Whole egg; beaten
One half cup Skim milk

One fourth cup Unsweetened Apple Sauce
1/3 cup Granulated sugar
2 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
1 cup Sifted confectioner's sugar
One half teaspoon Vanilla extract
1 tablespoon Skim milk

Preheat oven to 375F. Spray two 8 or 9 inch round pans with cooking spray.

In a large mixing bowl, combine 1One half c. allpurpose flour and the yeast.
In a small saucepan combine Three fourths c. Natural Apple Sauce, skim milk, 2 tbsp.
sugar, butter, and salt. Heat over medium heat and stir just until warm
(120F. to 130 F) and butter is almost melted (milk will appear curdled).
Add to flour mixture along with egg. Beat with an electric mixer on low
speed for 30 seconds, scraping bowl constantly. Beat on high speed for 3
minutes, using a spoon to stir in 2One fourth c. flour.

Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Knead in enough remaining
flour, up to One fourth c. to make a moderately soft dough that is smooth and
elastic (3 to 5 min.). Shape dough into a ball. Place dough in a bowl
sprayed lightly with cooking spray; turn dough once to grease surface.
Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled in volume (about 1 hr.).

Punch dough down, turn out onto a lightly floured surface. Cover and let
rest 10 minutes. On lightly floured surface, roll dough to a 12inch
square. Spread One fourth c. Natural Apple Sauce. Combine 1/3 c. sugar and
cinnamon; sprinkle over dough. Roll up and seal seams. Slice dough into 12
pieces.

Arrange 6 rolls, cut side down, in each pan. Cover and let rise in a warm
place until nearly doubled (about 30 min.).

Bake for 20 to 25 minutes or until golden. Cool 5 min. Invert onto serving
plate. Drizzle with a mixture of confectioner's sugar, vanilla, and skim
milk. Serve warm
