Description
Warm, gooey layers of cinnamon rolls filled with caramelized apples and topped with a creamy glaze.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon active dry yeast
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1/4 cup butter
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 2 cups diced apples
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 tablespoon milk (for glaze)
Instructions
- Mix the Dough: In a large mixing bowl, combine flour, granulated sugar, salt, and active dry yeast. Heat milk and butter until melted, then cool slightly. Gradually mix milk mixture and egg into the flour mixture until a soft dough forms.
- Knead the Dough: On a floured surface, knead the dough for about 5-7 minutes until it is smooth and elastic.
- Let it Rise: Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover, and let it rise in a warm area for about 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
- Prepare the Filling: In a separate bowl, mix diced apples, cinnamon, brown sugar, and lemon juice until combined.
- Roll it Out: After rising, punch down the dough and roll it out into a rectangle. Spread the apple filling evenly across the dough.
- Shape the Rolls: Roll the dough tightly from the long edge and cut into 12 equal pieces. Place in a greased baking dish.
- Second Rise: Cover again and allow to rise for another 30 minutes.
- Bake: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and bake for 25-30 minutes until golden brown.
- Glaze and Enjoy: Mix powdered sugar and milk for the glaze and drizzle over warm rolls.
Notes
Experiment with different apple varieties for unique flavors. Allow the dough to rise properly for fluffy rolls.
