2020 Great British Bake Off - Pastry Week

How good is pastry? Unfortuneatly, most pastry recipes take hours to make and a lot of the time they are chilling in the fridge - well if the whole world can’t chill anymore than pastries sure don’t have that right! This is a reduced recipe as I was craving cinnamon rolls but not too many. It is on theme with the fall vibes - apple and cinnamon - cozy and warm. I hope you enjoy them!
