Apple Pie Cinnamon Rolls

Method

1. 1. Activate the Yeast:
      In a bowl, combine warm milk, active dry yeast, and brown sugar. Let it sit for 5-10 minutes until the yeast activates and becomes frothy.
   2. Prepare the Dough:
      In a large mixing bowl, combine the yeast mixture, softened butter, and sifted flour. Knead the dough until it becomes smooth and elastic. Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover it, and let it rise for about 1-1.5 hours or until doubled in size.
   3. Prepare the Apple Filling:
      In a bowl, mix brown sugar, white sugar, apple pie spice, and softened butter. Fold in the diced apples and set aside.
      If it generates too much fluid, add some breadcrumbs, if you have ’em.
   4. Roll and Fill:
      Roll out the dough into a rectangle. Spread the apple filling evenly over the dough. Roll it into a log and cut into even slices.
      With a little bit of flour and a sprinkle of water, you create a “glue” to close the rolled dough. Spread your “glue” along the edge of the dough to firmly seal it up.
   5. Arrange and Rise:
      Use a tread to cut the rolls, so they will not get “squished”. Slide the thread under the roll, cross the ends of the thread over the roll and pull slowly in opposite direction to “cut” the roll in to approximatively 2cm slices.
      Place the slices in a greased (I use butter) baking dish. Cover and let them rise for another 30 minutes.
   6. Preheat the Oven:
      Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Top and bottom heat.
   7. Bake:
      Bake the apple pie cinnamon rolls in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown.
   8. Prepare the Frosting:
      In a bowl, mix melted butter, Philadelphia cream cheese, confectionery sugar, milk, ground vanilla, cinnamon, and caramel sauce until smooth.
   9. Frost and Drizzle:
      Once the apple pie cinnamon rolls have cooled slightly, spread the frosting over them and drizzle with extra caramel sauce.
   10. Serve and Enjoy:
       Serve these delicious Apple Pie Cinnamon Rolls warm and enjoy the heavenly combination of apple pie flavors and sweet, gooey cinnamon goodness.
