1 - Prepping the Yeast

  • In a large mixing bowl add the milk, melted butter, egg, sugar, and salt and mix until well combined.

  • Put dough into a greased bowl, cover with a tea towel, and set aside to allow the dough to rise, about 2 hours.

4- Dough After Rising

  • Meanwhile Toss the apples in a large bowl with lemon juice to keep them from browning and set aside.

  • 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.

7 - Applie Pie Filling

  • 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.
