🛒 Ingredients
For the cinnamon rolls:
3 cups all-purpose flour
2 ¼ tsp active dry yeast
¼ cup granulated sugar
½ tsp salt
¾ cup warm milk
1 large egg
¼ cup unsalted butter, melted
For the apple filling:
2 large apples, peeled and diced
3 tbsp butter
⅓ cup brown sugar
1 tsp ground cinnamon
¼ tsp nutmeg
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 tbsp all-purpose flour
For the caramel glaze:
½ cup brown sugar
¼ cup butter
¼ cup heavy cream
½ tsp vanilla extract
Pinch of salt
👩🍳 Instructions
In a bowl, combine warm milk, yeast, and 1 tablespoon of the sugar. Let sit for 5–10 minutes until foamy.
Add the remaining sugar, egg, melted butter, salt, and flour. Mix until a soft dough forms.
Knead the dough for about 5–7 minutes, then cover and let rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
Meanwhile, melt the butter in a skillet. Add diced apples, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and vanilla. Cook for 5–7 minutes until the apples soften. Stir in the flour and remove from heat.
Roll the dough into a large rectangle. Spread the apple mixture evenly over the dough.
Roll the dough tightly into a log and cut into 10–12 rolls.
Place the rolls in a greased baking dish. Cover and let them rise for another 30 minutes.
Bake at 350°F (175°C) for about 25–30 minutes, until golden brown.
For the glaze, melt butter and brown sugar in a small saucepan. Add heavy cream, vanilla, and salt. Simmer for 2–3 minutes, stirring constantly.
Pour the warm caramel glaze over the freshly baked cinnamon rolls.
Serve warm and enjoy! 🍎🤎
