Directions

• In a small bowl, stir together the yeast, water and 2 tsp sugar and let it sit until it foams up, about 10 minutes.

• In a large mixing bowl add the milk, melted butter, egg, sugar, and salt and mix until well combined.
• Add about half of the flour and mix until smooth then mix in the yeast mixture.
• Slowly add the remaining flour until combined, if using a mixer you will have to switch to using your hands or a wooden spoon.
• Remove the dough to a lightly floured surface and knead for about 5 minutes.
• Put dough into a greased bowl, cover with a tea towel, and set aside to allow the dough to rise, about 2 hours.

• Meanwhile Toss the apples in a large bowl with lemon juice to keep them from browning and set aside.
• Pour cornstarch into a large saucepan and slowly whisk in water to prevent the cornstarch from getting lumpy.
• Mix in the sugars, cinnamon, nutmeg, and a pinch of salt and bring mixture to a boil over medium-high heat.
• Allow to come to a hard boil, stirring constantly for 2 minutes.
• Add the apples and bring back to a boil then reduce the heat to medium low and simmer for 15 minutes or until apples soften to the desired texture.
• Remove from heat and set aside.
• When dough has risen punch the dough down and remove from the bowl.
• Roll the dough out on a well-floured surface into roughly a 16x24 inch rectangle
• Spread the softened butter over the dough.
• Mix the brown sugar with the cinnamon and sprinkle evenly across the butter.
• Spread the apple mixture over top of the the brown sugar.

• Roll into a log, starting lengthwise; the log should end up approximately 24 inches long.
• Slice evenly to create the seperate rolls.
• Line a 9x13 baking pan with parchment paper and place the cinnamon rolls in the pan, making sure they are not touching.
• Cover with a clean dish towel and allow the dough to double again, about 2 hours.
• Preheat the oven to 375°F.
• Bake the rolls for about 22-25 minutes.

• If a glaze is desired, mix powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla together with a whisk.
• Drizzle the glaze over top of the cinnamon rolls and serve.
