Ingredients

12 servings
  • 1 batch Quick Stovetop Apple Pie Filling ( or 1 can (21 ounces) apple pie filling)
  • ⅓ cup butter (softened )
  • ¾ cup brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon cinnamon
  • ⅓ cup powdered sugar
  • ½ tablespoon water
  • ¼ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ¼ cup warm water
  • 1 package active dry yeast (or 2 ¼ teaspoon)
  • ⅓ cup granulated sugar (plus 1 teaspoon)
  • ¾ cup milk
  • ⅓ cup butter
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 2 eggs (room temperature)
  • 4 to 4 ½ cups all purpose flour ( divided)

Steps

  1. Grease a 9x13" pan and set aside. Chop the apples in the filling and set aside.

  2. Combine water, yeast and 1 teaspoon sugar in a small bowl. Let sit 10 minutes or until foamy.

  3. Combine milk, butter, remaining sugar, and salt in a saucepan and heat to 120-130°F. Place 2 cups flour in a stand mixer. Add eggs, milk mixture and yeast mixture. Mix until combined.

  4. Using a dough hook, add remaining flour, ½ cup at a time to form a soft dough that pulls away from the side of the bowl. You may not use all of the flour.

  5. Remove dough from the bowl and knead on a lightly floured surface until dough is smooth and elastic (approx. 8 mins).

  6. Place in a greased bowl in a warm spot and cover with a towel for 1 hour or until doubled in size.

  7. On a floured surface, roll out bread dough into an 18″x9″ rectangle.

  8. Cover the dough with a thin layer of butter. In a small bowl combine brown sugar and cinnamon, then sprinkle it over the rolled dough. Top with apple filling.

  9. Roll the dough into a log (it should be 18″ long). Slice into 12 pieces. Place the rolls in the pan and cover with parchment paper and a dishtowel. Place in a warm area to rise (about 60 minutes).

  10. Once risen, preheat oven to 375°F. Bake 22-27 minutes or until golden. Cool slightly.

  11. In a small zippered bag, mix the glaze ingredients together. Snip off the corner and drizzle over top.

  12. Serve warm.
