Instructions
- Prepare the dough:
- In a large bowl, combine warm milk, yeast, and sugar. Let sit 5–10 minutes until foamy.
- Add eggs, melted butter, and salt. Mix in flour gradually until a soft dough forms.
- Knead 8–10 minutes (by hand or mixer) until smooth and elastic.
- Place in a greased bowl, cover, and let rise for 1–1.5 hours, or until doubled.
- Make the apple pie filling:
- In a skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add apples, brown sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
- Cook until apples are tender and caramelized (about 8 minutes).
- Stir in vanilla. If too runny, add the cornstarch slurry and cook until thickened. Let cool.
- Assemble the rolls:
- Roll out dough into a large rectangle (about 14×18 inches).
- Spread softened butter over the dough. Sprinkle with brown sugar and cinnamon.
- Evenly distribute the cooled apple pie filling.
- Roll up tightly from the long side and slice into 12 rolls.
- Second rise:
- Place rolls in a greased 9×13 baking dish. Cover and let rise 30–40 minutes until puffy.
- Bake:
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake 25–30 minutes, until golden brown.
- Glaze:
- Whisk powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla until smooth. Drizzle over warm rolls.
