Ingredients
For The Dough
- 2 3/4 cups All Purpose Flour
- 3/4 cup Milk warm
- 2 1/4 tsp Active Dry Yeast
- 1/4 cup Granulated Sugar
- 1/4 cup Unsalted Butter melted
- 1 Egg
- 1/2 tsp Kosher Salt
For The Filling
- 2 tbsp Unsalted Butter softened
- 1 1/2 tsp Ground Cinnamon
- 1/3 cup Brown Sugar
- 1 1/2 cups Apples diced
The Topping
- 1/2 cup Caramel Sauce
Instructions
- Prepare the Dough. In a small bowl, warm the milk to about 110°F and sprinkle the active dry yeast over the top. Let it sit for 5 minutes until foamy. In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, salt, and egg. Gradually add the milk-yeast mixture and melted butter, mixing until a soft dough forms.
- Knead and Rise. Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead for about 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic. Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover it, and let it rise in a warm place for 1-1.5 hours or until doubled in size.
- Prepare the Apple Filling. While the dough is rising, peel, core, and dice the apples into small pieces. In a skillet, melt the butter and sauté the apples with brown sugar and cinnamon until tender, about 5-7 minutes. Set aside to cool.
- Roll and Fill the Dough. Once the dough has risen, roll it out into a large rectangle on a floured surface. Spread softened butter evenly over the dough, then sprinkle the cinnamon and brown sugar mixture across the surface. Add the cooled apple filling.
- Roll and Cut. Carefully roll the dough from one long edge to the other, creating a log. Slice the log into 9 even rolls using a sharp knife or dental floss.
- Second Rise. Place the rolls into a greased baking dish, cover with a towel, and let them rise for another 30 minutes.
- Bake to Perfection. Preheat your oven to 350°F. Bake the rolls for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through. Your kitchen will smell heavenly!
- Top With Caramel. Drizzle the caramel sauce over the warm apple cinnamon rolls once they’re out of the oven.
