Cinnamon Swirls

I love cinnamon swirls and sometimes buy them when I go to Morrison’s.  I saw this recipe on one of the blogs that I follow and decided to make them.  I was surprised by how easy they are to make and they tasted delicious.  Will definitely be making them again.

Knead the dough for about 20 mins and set aside.

Make the filling by combining all the filling ingredients together.

Roll the dough out to form a rectangle shape.

Spoon the filling over the dough.

Gently roll the dough as tightly as you can.

Use a piece of string to cut into pieces.

Put on a greased baking dish and bake in a preheated oven for 15/20 mins.

Make the glaze by mixing all the glaze ingredients together.

Take the swirls out of the oven and pour the glaze over.

Enjoy!
