We loved the 2-ingredient bagels so much we decided to turn it into rugelach. With just a few more ingredients we made a delicious breakfast treat or dessert you can include as part of a healthy diet, no Jewish 10guilt included.
We kept it light by using apple butter and cinnamon for the filling, but you feel free to add the optional glaze for extra sweetness at only 1 SmartPoint™.
Note: To make this recipe with regular flour, add 2 teaspoons (10 g) baking powder and a large pinch (about ⅓ teaspoon) salt.

2-Ingredient Dough Apple Cinnamon Rugelach
Servings
Ingredients
- 1⅓ 160 g cups self rising flour, plus more as needed
- 1 cup 200 g plain fat free Greek yogurt, plus more as needed
- ¼ cup store-bought apple butter
- 1 tablespoon cinnamon
- ¼ cup powdered sugar
- 2 teaspoons nonfat milk
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a sheet pan with parchment paper.
- Place flour and yogurt in a medium bowl; stir well with a spoon until just combined and then continue to knead dough by hand in the bowl until smooth, about 1 to 2 minutes. If dough is too sticky to knead, add 1 to 2 more tablespoons flour; let dough sit 5 minutes.
- Place a large piece of parchment paper on a work surface; sprinkle with a little flour. Place dough on parchment paper; roll dough into a large, thin circle. Place a 10-inch plate upside-down on dough; trace around plate with a knife to cut out a perfect dough circle.
- Spread apple butter evenly over dough, all the way to edges; sprinkle with cinnamon. Slice dough into 8 even wedges, like a pizza. Working with one wedge at a time, roll dough tightly from the wide end to the pointy end; place on prepared pan and repeat with remaining dough to form 8 rugelach.
- Bake until lightly browned, 15 to 20 minutes.
- Meanwhile, to make glaze, in a small bowl, combine sugar and milk until slightly thick. Drizzle glaze over rugelach before serving.

Can light sour cream be used in place of yogurt?
Yes, but you wouldn’t get the low fat and high protein nutrition benefits.
Can you use none dairy yogurt in this recipe?
Looks delicious!
Yes, often they are sweeter yogurts so works great for this recipe, but not as good for savory versions
Love it, I’ll try it asap. Thanks Jaimie!
