Ingredients
Before we get started, here’s what you’ll need to whip up these incredible rolls:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1 packet (2 1/4 teaspoons) instant yeast
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 3/4 cup warm milk
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 1 egg
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
- 1 cup peeled and diced apples (any sweet variety)
- 1/2 cup caramel sauce (store-bought or homemade)
Instructions
Now that you have your ingredients ready, let’s get baking:
- In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, instant yeast, and salt. Mix well.
- In another bowl, whisk together the warm milk, melted butter, and egg until well combined. Gradually pour this mixture into the dry ingredients and mix until a dough forms.
- Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for about 5-7 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic.
- Place the kneaded dough in a greased bowl, cover it with a towel, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until it doubles in size.
- Once risen, roll the dough out on a floured surface into a rectangle, about 1/4 inch thick.
- Mix the brown sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl, then sprinkle this mixture evenly over the rolled-out dough.
- Add the diced apples on top of the cinnamon-sugar mix, followed by a drizzle of caramel sauce.
- Starting from one edge, roll the dough tightly into a log. Slice the log into equal rolls, about 1-1.5 inches thick.
- Place the rolls in a greased baking dish, cover with a towel, and let them rise again for another 30 minutes.
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the rolls for 20-25 minutes until golden brown.
- Once they are baked, remove them from the oven and drizzle with more caramel sauce. Serve warm and enjoy!
