Delicious Apple Cinnamon Rolls

These apple cinnamon rolls are filled with a mixture of fresh apples, cinnamon, and sugar, then rolled up and baked until golden brown. The recipe takes about 1 hour and 30 minutes from start to finish and serves 12 rolls.

Ingredients

• 2 1/4 teaspoons active dry yeast
• 1 cup warm milk (110°F)
• 1/3 cup granulated sugar
• 1/3 cup butter, melted
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 2 large eggs
• 4 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 cup peeled and diced apples (about 2 medium apples)
• 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
• 1/2 cup brown sugar
• 1/4 cup butter, softened
• 1 cup powdered sugar
• 2 tablespoons milk (for icing)
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

1. Activate Yeast: In a small bowl, combine warm milk and yeast. Let it sit for about 5 minutes until frothy.
2. Make Dough: In a large mixing bowl, combine melted butter, sugar, salt, and eggs. Add the yeast mixture and mix well. Gradually stir in flour until a dough forms.
3. Knead Dough: Turn the dough onto a floured surface and knead for about 5-7 minutes until smooth. Place in a greased bowl, cover, and let rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.
4. Prepare Filling: In a separate bowl, mix diced apples, brown sugar, and cinnamon.
5. Roll Out Dough: Once the dough has risen, punch it down and roll it out into a rectangle (about 16×12 inches). Spread softened butter over the dough, then sprinkle the apple mixture evenly on top.
6. Form Rolls: Starting from one long side, roll the dough tightly into a log. Cut into 12 equal pieces and place them in a greased baking dish.
7. Second Rise: Cover the rolls and let them rise for another 30 minutes.
8. Bake: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the rolls for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown.
9. Make Icing: While the rolls are baking, whisk together powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth.
10. Serve: Drizzle the icing over warm rolls and enjoy!
