Instructions
- Line a 9x13 inch baking dish with parchment paper. Set aside.
- In a large microwave-safe bowl, heat milk for 30-40 seconds, until the milk is lukewarm. Add in yeast and sugar and stir with a whisk until dissolved. Cover with a clean dish towel and let the yeast proof for 10 minutes.
- While your yeast is proofing, peel, core and dice the apples and put in a medium mixing bowl. Set aside.
- After the yeast has proofed, whisk in melted butter, egg, and vanilla, until fully combined.
- Add in salt and flour, 1 cup at a time. Knead it slightly until the dough forms a ball. Cover the bowl with a clean towel or plastic wrap. Rest the dough for 10 minutes.
- While you let the dough rest, add the rest of the filling ingredients to the bowl with the diced apples and stir until it is combined. Set aside
- Lightly flour a surface and a rolling pin. Roll the dough out until it is approximately a 14” × 18” rectangle that is 1/4” thick.
- Spread filling over the entire surface of the dough.
- Beginning at the short side, roll the dough up.
- Use a serrated knife to cut the dough into 12 rolls.
- Place cinnamon rolls in the pan, cut-side down. Cover with a clean dish towel and let rise for about 50 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 350℉. Bake for 24-26 minutes until the tops are slightly golden brown.
- For the frosting, add softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt to a medium-sized bowl. Mix with a hand mixer until combined and smooth. Frost cinnamon rolls and serve warm!
Notes
- FRIDGE: Store unfrosted rolls at room temperature in an airtight container for two days. Or, you can store them in the fridge for a week. Alternatively, store frosted apple cinnamon roll bake in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
- FREEZER: You can freeze any cinnamon rolls that are not frosted. Just allow them to cool completely, then wrap tightly in plastic wrap. Store in a freezer bag or airtight container for up to three months. Allow to thaw, then bake and frost.
