Ingredients:
– 1 package active dry yeast
– 1/2 cup warm water
– 1/2 cup milk
– 1/3 cup sugar
– 1/3 cup unsalted butter, melted
– 1 egg
– 1 teaspoon salt
– 4 cups all-purpose flour
– 2 apples, peeled and grated
– 1/2 cup brown sugar
– 2 teaspoons cinnamon
– 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
– 1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
– 1/2 cup powdered sugar
– 2-3 tablespoons milk
– 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions:
1. In a large mixing bowl, dissolve yeast in warm water. Let sit for 5 minutes until foamy.
2. Add in milk, sugar, melted butter, egg, and salt. Mix until well combined.
3. Gradually stir in flour until it forms a dough. Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for about 5 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic.
4. Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover it, and let it rise for about an hour or until it has doubled in size.
5. In a separate bowl, mix together grated apples, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and softened butter.
6. Roll out the dough on a floured surface into a large rectangle. Spread the apple mixture evenly on top of the dough, leaving a small border around the edges.
7. Roll the dough tightly, beginning at the long end. Cut the roll into even slices and place them in a greased baking dish. Let them rise for another 30 minutes.
8. Preheat the oven to 350°F.
9. Bake the rolls for 25-30 minutes or until they are golden brown on top.
10. While the rolls are baking, mix together powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract to make the glaze. Drizzle it over the warm rolls when they come out of the oven.
