Fall Fruit Rolls
 These glazed rolls with their jewel like tones and fall flavor make wonderful additions to your bread basket, a special treat with coffee, or even a simple dessert. Prepared products make the rolls quick and easy, and they can be made up to a day in advance. Apricot jam, or any other clear or golden colored jam or jelly can be used in place of the apple jelly if desired.
2 tablespoons sugar
1 tablespoon brown sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons apple pie spice
1 -11 oz. can refrigerated breadsticks
2 tablespoons melted butter
1/4 cup dried cranberries
1/4 cup snipped dried apricots
1/4 cup apple jelly, melted
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. In a small bowl mix together the sugars and apple pie spice.  Remove the breadstick dough from the can, but do not break into breadstick sections. Evenly sprinkle the sugar mixture over the dough. With a sharp knife cut the breadsticks along the perforations to make 12 rolls. Roll each breadstick up tightly in jelly roll fashion to form a spice roll. Reserve any of the sugar and spice mixture that falls out of the rolls. Place the rolls on an ungreased cookie sheet. Brush the tops with the melted butter. Sprinkle the cranberries and apricots over the rolls and press firmly so the fruit will not fall off. Bake for 15-18 minutes, or until golden brown. While the rolls are baking, mix the apple jelly with any of the reserved sugar and spice mixture you may have left. Remove the rolls from the oven, place on a wire rack and brush with the apple jelly mixture. Serve warm, or let cool and serve at room temperature.
