Sweet Rolls stuffed with fruit filling add a bit of oooh to a brunch table. I like to unroll the bun and eat it bite by bite. Yes, I’m not ashamed to say that I play with my food!
If you are a fan of prunes and like apple butter then you get the idea behind lekvar. This spread is often used as filling for thumbprint cookies and kiffles. I like it on toast, too.
Of course it complements tart, sweet apples like these Lady Alice® apples from Rainier Fruit.

Here is what makes Lady Alice® apples special from Rainier Fruit’s website:
• Lady Alice® apples have a distinct pink stripe that washes over a vibrant banana yellow background, visually distinguishing it from other varieties.
• The Lady Alice® apple is decidedly sweet with a delicate infusion of tartness and has a crisp, juicy crunch that snaps cleanly with each bite.
• The Lady Alice® is an excellent all-purpose apple that is most popular for its snack-appeal, yet is perfectly suited to any occasion. It makes an attractive focal point on a fruit platter or a refreshing addition to salads and sides. It even holds its texture during cooking or baking.

Additionally, I could not have made these delicious sweet rolls without these sponsors.
