Once your rolls have risen for a 2nd time, it’s time to bake at 350☏ for 18-22 minutes. Beat the frosting on medium speed until it’s light and fluffy. Once combined, slowly add the powdered sugar. In a small pot or skillet, brown the butter over medium heat, stirring continuously and then let it cool.Ĭombine the cooled butter, softened cream cheese vanilla extract and cinnamon in your stand mixer with a paddle attachment. Just make sure you allow your rolls to come to room temperature before baking in the morning. Making these rolls for tomorrow? Instead of placing in a warm location, cover and place in the fridge overnight for baking in the morning. This will ensure you have equal sized rolls 😀 2ND RISEĪdd the apple cinnamon rolls to your prepared dish, cover with plastic wrap and a tea towel again, and place in a warm location to rise for a 2nd time, this time for around 30 minutes. To do this, start in middle of the roll, and mark the dough with a knife, then mark every inch on each side of the middle mark. You’ll see that we rolled our dough starting on the LONG SIDE, but if you prefer larger more over-sized maple cinnamon rolls (and thus, less total rolls), simply roll your dough starting on the SHORT SIDE.

Softened butter (softened / room temperature butter is CRITICAL to ensure you don’t have clumps of butter in your filling).

While the apples are sautéing, simply measure the following in a small bowl and stir together until fully combined: Once the butter is melted, add your diced apples and nutmeg, and cook until the apples are soft. Heat a sauté pan over medium heat and begin to melt 1 tablespoon of butter. While your dough rises, it’s time to make the filling. This will take approximately 1-1.5 hours. Place in a warm place (we like to set ours IN the oven with the oven OFF) until the dough has doubled in size. Transfer you ball of dough to a lightly buttered bowl and cover with plastic wrap and then a tea towel. Then hand knead the dough until it’s smooth and elastic. And then continue until the dough is smooth and elastic (it should bounce back when you poke it).ĭon’t have a stand mixer? You can use a wooden spoon until the dough is formed enough to knead by hand. Then, with your stand mixer on low-medium speed with a dough hook, and slowly add the flour and salt to the wet ingredients until it forms a shaggy dough. Then, whisk together the rest of the wet ingredients and combine with the bloomed yeast mixture. Prepare the yeast by adding the warm milk and quick rise yeast packet to a bowl for at least 5 minutes or until the yeast has bloomed.
