  • 3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 packet active dry yeast 2 1/4 tsp
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 3/4 cup warm milk 110°F

  • 2 tbsp butter softened, for filling
  • 1 1/2 cups apples peeled and diced
  • 1 cup powdered sugar for glaze
  • 2 tbsp milk for glaze

Instructions
 

  • In a mixing bowl, combine the warm milk, sugar, and yeast. Let sit for 5-10 minutes until foamy.

  • In a small bowl, mix brown sugar and cinnamon for the filling.
  • Roll out the dough into a 15x9-inch rectangle and spread softened butter over the surface.
  • Sprinkle the cinnamon sugar mixture evenly over the buttered dough, then add the diced apples.
  • Roll the dough tightly into a log and cut into 12 equal rolls.
  • Place the rolls in a greased baking dish, cover, and let rise for another 30 minutes.
  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and bake for 22-25 minutes, or until golden brown.
  • In a small bowl, whisk together powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla to make the glaze.
  • Drizzle the glaze over the warm cinnamon rolls before serving.

Notes

  • Storage: Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for up to a week.
  • Customization: Add chopped pecans or walnuts for extra crunch.
