Apricot Breakfast Rolls

These whole wheat breakfast rolls are a real treat, with their hint of cinnamon and sweet glaze! "I came up with this original recipe while trying to make cinnamon rolls without using butter, margarine or oil," recalls Connie Knudtson, Joplin, Missouri. "It won first prize in the heart-healthy cooking contest at the Ozark Empire Fair one year."

Ingredients

1 package (1/4 ounce) active dry yeast
1/2 cup warm water (110° to 115°)
2 cups warm fat-free milk (110° to 115°)
1 teaspoon salt
1 cup whole wheat flour

1 jar (14-1/2 ounces) apricot spreadable fruit, divided

In a bowl, dissolve yeast in warm water. Stir in warm milk, salt,

fruit spread to within 1/2 in. of edges; sprinkle with cinnamon.
