Sourdough Pumpkin Apple Pie Cinnamon Rolls with Maple Frosting
These Sourdough Pumpkin Apple Pie Rolls are the ultimate autumn bake—pillowy soft pumpkin-infused dough swirled with a cozy apple pie filling. Each roll is layered with a rich blend of brown sugar, butter, and Primal Palate Cinnamon Cookie Spice Blend, then studded with tender diced apples. A touch of flour in the filling keeps the apples perfectly nestled without weighing down the dough, so every bite is gooey yet balanced. The Cinnamon Cookie Spice Blend adds a hint of natural sweetness that enhances the apple pie flavor beautifully, making these rolls taste like fall wrapped in soft sourdough layers.

Day 1
- Mix dough: In a large bowl, whisk together starter, pumpkin puree, milk, and sugar until dissolved. Stir in flour and salt until shaggy.
- Knead in butter: Add butter, 1 Tbsp at a time, kneading until absorbed. Cover and rest 1 hour.
- Knead & rise: Knead 5–10 min until smooth and stretchy. Shape into a ball, place in an oiled bowl, cover, and let rise until doubled, 4–6 hrs.

- Filling: Mix brown sugar, 2 Tbsp cinnamon sugar cookie spice, and softened butter.
- Shape: Roll dough into a 10×18-inch rectangle. Spread with softened brown sugar butter mixture over the dough. Sprinkle the diced apple evenly over the brown sugar/butter mixture, dust flour over the apples, then sprinkle 1 tablespoon cinnamon sugar cookie spice over the dusted apples. Roll tightly, and cut into 12 pieces.
- Final proof: Place rolls on parchment-lined pan, cover, and rise until puffy and touching, 2–4 hrs.

Notes
For best results, your sourdough starter should be mature and active. And make sure the dough rises during the first rise for a tender soft roll.
