Ingredients
Scale
For the Sauce
- 2/3 cup water
- 2/3 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/3 cup apple cider vinegar
For the Rolls
- 1 9-inch pie crust, storebought or homemade
- 4 tablespoons butter, softened and divided
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit to prepare for baking the rolls.
- Prepare Sauce: In a saucepan over low heat, combine the water, 2/3 cup brown sugar, 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon, and apple cider vinegar. Stir continuously until the sugar dissolves completely. Remove from heat and set aside.
- Roll Out Dough: Lightly flour your work surface and roll out the pie dough into a rectangle approximately 12 by 11 inches in size.
- Spread Butter and Sugar Mixture: Spread 2 tablespoons of softened butter evenly over the dough. Mix 1/4 cup brown sugar with 1 teaspoon cinnamon and sprinkle over the butter. Use a spatula to spread the cinnamon sugar mixture evenly across the surface.
- Form Rolls: Starting from a long side, roll the dough tightly into a log shape. Slice the roll into 12 equal rounds.
- Arrange and Add Butter: Place the rounds into a 9×9 inch baking dish, arranging them snugly. Dot the top of the rolls with the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter.
- Add Sauce and Bake: Pour the hot vinegar sauce evenly over the rolls. Bake in the preheated oven for 40 minutes or until golden and caramelized on top.
- Serve: Remove from the oven and serve warm. Optionally, add heavy cream on the side for extra richness. Enjoy your tangy and sweet vinegar rolls!
Notes
- If you prefer a richer flavor, substitute apple cider vinegar with malt vinegar or white wine vinegar.
- These rolls can be made with homemade pie crust or store-bought ones for convenience.
- For an extra indulgent touch, drizzle warm heavy cream or vanilla glaze over the rolls before serving.
- Make sure to roll the dough tightly to ensure neat spiral rolls and even cooking.
- The sauce can be prepared ahead of time and gently reheated before pouring over the rolls.
