Which Cinnamon to use?
Vietnamese Cinnamon
The strongest, richest, and sweetest cinnamon around.
Stronger and more intense than traditional cinnamon, this spicy and robust variety gives a bold and vibrant taste to your baked goods. It’s sweeter, more aromatic, and more powerful than the cinnamon commonly sold in supermarkets. Because of its higher oil content, it disperses more fully to deliver a memorable sweet-yet-spicy cinnamon flavor. Considered by many to be the world’s finest cinnamon, Vietnamese cinnamon (a.k.a. Saigon cinnamon) is ground from cinnamon grown in Vietnam. Our cinnamon is imported and milled in the USA for the freshest product making our blend a top-seller, demanded by savvy cooks and bakers nationwide.
I buy my Vietnamese Cinnamon from King Arthur Baking Company
I also have bought Organic Saigon Cinnamon from Wellsey Farms (BJ’s Wholesale) Ground Saigon Cinnamon in 10.8 oz bottles
The everyday cinnamon I get from Oak Hill Bulk Foods for recipes that really don’t need the more expensive variety

Autumn Sweet Rolls with Cider Glaze
Made an new recipe from TASTE of HOME called Autumn Sweet Rolls with Cider Glaze because it had pumpkin puree and apple cider as ingredients. Had made pumpkin pie using the puree from the freezer and needed to find a way to use the left over pumpkin after making two pies a few days earlier.
Recommendation for next time – use more chopped apples, use more spices. Excellent dough and this made great cinnamon style rolls.
