"A recipe I would like to try - prep time is an estimate and includes rise time for the dough. I found it on the Taste of Home website, from Country Woman. Here is their description:
These ruby-colored pastries will be the first to disappear from your brunch table. You can use apple pie filling with equally good results.—Christie Cochran, Canyon, Texas"

Great recipe! We ended up with about 30 rolls but they are disappearing fast! Substituted allspice and cloves for the mace.

<p>I couldn't cook when I married my husband, but I am trying to learn now for his sake. He thinks I'm doing a great job--he's so sweet. :) RecipeZaar has been a huge help! I haven't posted many recipes since most of the ones I've made I found here. I have just graduated with a B.S. in mechanical engineering, and now I hope to have a lot more time to experiment in the kitchen.</p>
