Filling
- In a small bowl combine the 1 tablespoon cinnamon, ¼ teaspoon nutmeg, and ¾ cup packed brown sugar for the filling. Spread the 5 tablespoons softened unsalted butter onto the dough keeping it about a ½ inch away from the edge.
- Sprinkle the cinnamon and brown sugar on top of the softened butter. Sprinkle with 2 chopped granny smith apples.
- Roll up the dough from the long side into a log and pinch the seams. Cut into 9-12 slices depending on how thick you want your cinnamon rolls.
- Place in a greased 9×13 inch pan or 9-inch pie pan cover with a damp cloth and let rise for 30 minutes.
- While the cinnamon rolls rise preheat the oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Bake for 30 minutes or until just golden brown on the tops.
Caramel Glaze
- In a medium saucepan, melt the ¼ cup unsalted butter and ½ cup brown sugar until the sugar dissolves.
- Add the ¼ cup sweetened condensed milk and bring to a boil over medium-high heat for about 2-3 minutes. Pour over the warm cinnamon rolls.
