Ingredients
For the Dough:
¾ cup warm milk (110°F / 43°C)
2¼ tsp active dry yeast
¼ cup granulated sugar
1 egg + 1 egg yolk
¼ cup melted butter
3 cups all-purpose flour
½ tsp salt
For the Filling:
2 medium apples, peeled and finely chopped
⅓ cup brown sugar
2 tsp ground cinnamon
¼ cup softened butter
For the Caramel Sauce:
½ cup brown sugar
¼ cup butter
2 tbsp heavy cream
Pinch of salt
Optional: ¼ tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
Activate yeast: Mix warm milk, yeast, and sugar in a bowl. Let sit for 5–10 minutes until frothy.
Add egg, yolk, melted butter, and salt. Stir in flour gradually until a soft dough forms.
Knead dough 8–10 minutes, then place in a greased bowl. Cover and let rise for 1 hour or until doubled.
Roll dough into a rectangle. Spread with butter, sprinkle brown sugar, cinnamon, and apples.
Roll tightly, slice into 9–12 rolls, and place in a greased pan. Cover and let rise for another 30–40 minutes.
Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 25–30 minutes until golden.
While baking, make caramel: melt butter and brown sugar, stir in cream and salt, and simmer for 2–3 minutes.
Drizzle warm caramel over baked rolls and serve.
