Apple Cinnamon Rolls
Dough
- 4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/3 cup granulated sugar
- 1 packet Rapid Instant Rise Yeast
- 1 tsp salt
- 1-1/2 cups milk
- 6 tbsp butter
- 1 egg (room temperature)
Apple Cinnamon Filling
- 1/4 cup butter (room temperature)
- 2/3 cup light brown sugar
- 1 tbsp ground cinnamon
- 1-1/4 tsp apple pie spice
- 3 apples (peeled and diced in 1/4" bits)
- 1 pinch salt
Cream Cheese Frosting
- 4 oz cream cheese (room temperature)
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter (room temperature)
- 3 cups powdered sugar
- 2-3 tbsp milk
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 pinch salt
-
Start by taking a large bowl and in it, mix together 2 cups of flour, yeast, salt, and sugar. Ensure they are well combined.
-
In a microwave-safe bowl, warm the milk and butter for 30 seconds until they are warm and the butter is almost melted. It should be comfortably warm, not scalding. If it’s too hot, let it cool a bit before adding it to the yeast to avoid harming the yeast. Pour this warm milk-butter mixture into the flour mixture.
-
Add the egg and beat it on low speed, gradually increasing to high, until it’s thoroughly mixed in, which should take about 2 minutes.
-
Scrape down the sides of the bowl, then add another cup of flour, continuing to beat until it’s fully incorporated. Gradually add the remaining cup of flour bit by bit until the dough starts to pull away from the sides of the bowl and forms a ball.
-
Transfer the dough to a well-floured surface and knead it for approximately 10 minutes until it becomes smooth and can be stretched without breaking. This indicates that the gluten has developed, resulting in soft, pillowy dough.
-
Place the dough in an oiled bowl, cover it, and let it rise in a warm location for about 1 hour or until it has doubled in size.
-
While the dough is rising, prepare the filling by peeling, coring, and dicing the apples into small pieces. In a small bowl, combine the sugar, spices, and salt, mixing them thoroughly. Set this mixture aside.
-
Once the dough has doubled in size, roll it out on a well-floured surface into a large rectangle measuring approximately 18 x 12 inches.
-
Spread the butter for the filling evenly over the entire surface of the dough. Sprinkle the sugar mixture and the diced apple pieces onto the butter, pressing them down to stick.
-
Starting from the long side, roll the dough away from you into a tight cylinder, sealing the bottom edge by pinching the dough together.
-
Use baker’s twine or a very sharp knife to cut the dough into 12 even rolls. Arrange these rolls in a 9 x 13 inch Rectangular Baker lined with parchment paper. Cover loosely with a kitchen towel and allow them to rise for another hour until they have doubled in size and become puffy.
-
Bake the cinnamon rolls at 350°F for approximately 30 minutes or until they turn golden brown and are no longer doughy. After baking, transfer them to a wire rack to cool.
-
While the rolls are cooling, prepare the cream cheese frosting. Combine the cream cheese, butter, powdered sugar, milk, salt, and vanilla extract. Start at low speed, gradually increasing to high, until the mixture becomes light and fluffy. Spread this icing evenly over the rolls.

Apple Pie Ice Cream
Apple Pie Ice Cream
- 1 premade pie crust (baked and cut into bite size pieces)
- 2 cups heavy whipping cream
- 1 tbsp vanilla extract
- 14 oz sweetened condensed milk
- 1/2 tsp salt
Apple Pie Bits
- 2 large apples
- 2 tbsp light brown sugar
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 1-1/4 tsp apple pie spice
- juice of 1/2 lemon
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/4 tsp salt
-
Cut the apples into small cubes and place them in a medium-sized pot. Combine them with all the other ingredients.
-
Cook over medium heat for 20-25 minutes until the apples become soft and mushy. If the mixture becomes dry, add a tablespoon of water at a time, up to 1/2 cup throughout cooking.
-
Once the apple mixture is cooked, let it cool for 10 minutes, then use an immersion blender to pulse until the mixture is somewhat uniform, but with small apple chunks for texture.
-
Line a loaf pan with parchment paper and set it aside.
-
Whip the heavy cream in a mixing bowl until soft peaks form, then gently fold in the vanilla extract and salt.Pour the sweetened condensed milk onto the cream and fold gently until well combined. Add the pie crust pieces and fold them in.
-
Carefully scoop half of the ice cream into the prepared loaf pan. Spoon half of the apple mixture onto the ice cream in concentrated pools.
-
Use a knife to create large swirls to incorporate the apple mixture. Sprinkle a handful of pie crust. Then, add the remaining ice cream on top and repeat with the remaining apple mixture and pie crust.
-
Cover and freeze for a minimum of 12 hours before serving.
You can bake the pie crust at any time. Lay it flat on a baking sheet and bake at 375°F for about 20 minutes or until it turns golden brown. Let it cool, then roughly chop or crumble it into pieces. Store the pieces in an airtight container until ready to use.
We hope you enjoy our two must-try autumn apple recipes. Happy fall!

First, start the morning off right with classic pancakes. Easy, fast and delicious. Who doesn’t love a tall stack of pillowy goodness? Then serve your syrup in a Sauceboat for easy, non-sticky pouring!
Second, we all need our greens. Serve your salad dressing in a Sauceboat to make salad fun! For a super easy and kid-approved ranch dressing, mix together 1 packet of restaurant-style buttermilk ranch seasoning, 1/2 cup of sour cream, 1/2 cup of mayo, and 1/2 cup of buttermilk. You’ll never go back to the stuff in the bottle!
Next up, PASTA. Can you ever go wrong with a simple pasta dinner? Pour your marinara, fresh or from the jar, into a Sauceboat. Conveniently, heat up the sauce in the microwave. (All of our dishes are microwave, oven, and dishwasher safe!) Serve.
Last, but definitely not least, dessert! The best sundaes always have some kind of topping. Make yours as fancy as you want, but don’t forget to serve hot fudge (or peanut butter sauce, strawberry sauce, etc.) in a Sauceboat! *Pro Tip: For less mess, use a Small Oval Platter underneath a Sauceboat to catch all the drippings (& to look extra cute!)
We wish you all a great upcoming school year, and if you’re feeling nervous, take your mind off of your worries and get creative. Something as little as a fun placemat or inventive use of a Sauceboat may turn into a back-to-school tradition you all look forward to.
Let us know how you creatively use Fiesta in the comments below!

Every fiesta needs chips and salsa! We started our night off with a Bouillon full of fresh salsa surrounded by fried tortilla chips on a Luncheon Bowl Plate. Using a Bowl Plate helps contain the chips; we offer a larger size (regular Bowl Plate) depending on the size of your crowd.
The star of our fiesta: Fajitas de Carne!
A Luncheon Bowl Plate for one…
… our regular Bowl Plate for two!
Those pesky fallen toppings are finally contained!
Bowl Plates perfectly enclose side dishes like rice or corn, preventing spillage while creating a professional presentation.
And don’t forget about dessert! We finished the night off with churros held inside our Luncheon Bowl Plate.

There’s no better gift than time, so spend some quality time over tea with your mom, stepmom, grandma, mother-in-law, or mother figure. This will fill her heart more than any tangible gift could!
It’s impossible to sum up motherhood in just one color. Thankfully, we have a whole rainbow to choose from! Feel free to choose the colors that best fit your mom.
We chose Turquoise to represent the calmness amongst the chaos of motherhood, and what better royal blue than Twilight to represent her being the queen of the family? Last, we paired two of our coolest hues with pops of white and yellow to represent her warmth and brightness in our life.
If you’re celebrating Mom with a Fiesta tea party, comment your color scheme below!

First, set a rainbow themed table-after all, the gold is found at the end of a rainbow!
Flip the plates, and add your clues. Since you’ve hidden the “gold” in your Fiesta Canister or Gift Box, you could use clues like “made in the USA,” “kitchen,” another name for the color, like “red,” “born in (insert the year color or item was introduced),” and the list goes on!
Once your guests have arrived, tell them to use the rainbow, aka the rainbow place settings, to find the gold. Good luck! Don’t forget to have fun and make it your own.
Happy St. Paddy’s Day!

Make mini cakes in our Heart Ramekins and immediately turn a basic dessert into a festive treat that your kids will love. There’s just something about making food in fun shapes that makes everything better!
Pro Tip: If you’re using box cake mix, swap the oil with melted butter, and thank us later. 
You can use mini cookie cutters as stencils for your sprinkles. We used an “x”, “o”, and a heart-shaped cookie cutter for ours. This hack is perfect for kids because they can customize it however they’d like!
You can enjoy these mini cakes with your kids or have them surprise a loved one with a special gift. We can’t wait to surprise Grandma with a red velvet Heart Ramekin cake in her favorite color, Peony!
Who doesn’t love heart-shaped pizza? This is our kids’ definition of gourmet on Valentine’s Day! We buttered our Heart Ramekins before pressing in the dough, and then we pushed the dough up the sides for a deep dish effect.
Display the toppings in Bouillons, and let your kids top each individual pizza. We used cheese and mini pepperoni, but you can use whatever your kiddos like best! Bake according to your dough instructions, and garnish with fresh basil.
Voila! Two adorable ways you and your kids can use our Heart Ramekins this Valentine’s Day. What do you like to make on Valentine’s Day? Let us know in the comments below.
