Ingredients

Dough
  • 3/4 cup milk lukewarm
  • 2 1/4 tsp yeast 1 package
  • 1/3 cup unsalted butter softened
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 4 cups all-purpose flour
Filling
  • 1/3 cup salted butter softened enough to spread
  • 1 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 3 tbsp cinnamon
  • 1 tsp nutmeg
  • 4 medium apples I used gala. Granny smooth would work as well, peeled, cut into eighths, and sliced into 1/4 inch pieces.
Icing
  • 4 oz cream cheese
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 1/2 tsp. vanilla extract
  • 2-3 tbsp. milk

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Warm milk and add to a small bowl. Sprinkle in yeast and a teaspoon of sugar. Set aside for 5-7 minutes to allow the yeast to bloom.
  2. With an electric mixer, mix together butter and sugar. Add eggs. Mix. Add flour, half at a time, mixing well.
  3. If you have a dough hook, use it for the next step.
  4. Pour yeast mixture into flour mixture. Mix until well combined. You can continue to knead with a dough hook, or place on a lightly floured surface and knead by hand for approximately 5 minutes.
  5. In a medium bowl, add a teaspoon of olive oil and put the dough into it to rise. Cover and place in a warm place for 35-45 minutes.
  6. Make the filling by mixing together cinnamon, brown sugar, and nutmeg. Slice apples.
  7. Once the dough has doubled in size, place it on a lightly floured surface. With a rolling pin, roll out to a rectangle, approximately 1/4 inch thick.
  8. Spread softened butter evenly onto dough, leaving edges free of butter. Sprinkle topping mixture evenly onto the butter. Add apple slices.
  9. Carefully roll the dough up. Cut into 1 1/2 inch slices. Place in one or two 9x13 baking dishes, 2-3 inches apart. Cover and set in a warm place again for 30 minutes.
  10. Preheat oven to 35 degrees F. Bake buns 35-40 minutes, until golden brown.
  11. Once slightly cooled, overturn buns onto a baking sheet or dish large enough to hold the buns.
  12. To make the icing, beat cream cheese and icing sugar until smooth. Add vanilla. Add milk, a tablespoon at a time, until desired consistency is reached. Pour onto buns.
  13. Enjoy!
