½ cup milk
½ cup apricot preserves
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
¼ cup brown sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a baking dish or line with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, mix flour, baking powder, granulated sugar, and salt.
- Cut in softened butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

- Spread apricot preserves evenly on the dough and sprinkle with cinnamon and brown sugar.
- Roll dough tightly into a log and slice into 12 rolls.
- Place rolls in the prepared baking dish and bake for 25-30 minutes, until golden brown.

Notes

Nutty touch: Add walnuts or pecans to the cinnamon-sugar filling for a crunchy texture.
For an extra sweet finish, drizzle with cream cheese icing or a simple glaze.
