"THE PREPARED PANTRY" CURRENT NEWSLETTER

Since you received our earlier email, "How to Make Sweet Rolls," we thought you would be interested in making these very good apple sweet rolls. This is like a cross between apple pie and cinnamon buns. It's another great recipe using fresh apples. We gave these to customers and crew and the response was, "Outstanding."

You can also make these from a mix by adding apple pie filling to either a cinnamon or maple nut sweet roll mix.

Just in case you missed yesterday's issue . . .

"How to Paint Cookies" drew a great response. Learn how to paint cookies with food colors or markers. It's really easy and you can make spectacular cookies.
