Ingredients

Frosting

  • 2 cups powdered sugar

  • 1/2 tsp. vanilla

  • 1/2 cup heavy cream

  • 1 cup light brown sugar

  • 1/2 cup butter

Filling

  • 1 tsp. apple pie spice

  • 2 tsp. cinnamon divided

  • 3/4 cup brown sugar divided

  • 1/4 cup sugar

  • 5 tbsp. butter, softened divided

  • 3 apples, peeled and diced

  • 1 large egg

  • 6 tbsp. butter

  • 1 1/2 cups water

  • 1 tsp. salt

  • 2 packets rapidrise yeast

  • 1/3 cup sugar

  • 4 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

Method

  • 01
    Combine 2 cups flour, sugar, dry yeast, and salt in a large mixer bowl and stir until blended. Place water and butter in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave on HIGH in 15-second increments until very warm but not hot to the touch (120°F to 130°F).
  • 02
    Add to flour mixture with egg. Beat 2 minutes at medium speed of electric mixer, scraping bowl occasionally. Add 1 cup flour; beat 2 minutes at high speed, scraping bowl occasionally. Stir in just enough remaining flour so that the dough will form into a ball.
  • 03
    Knead on a lightly floured surface until smooth and elastic and dough springs back when lightly pressed with 2 fingers, about 6 to 8 minutes. Cover with a towel; let rest for 10 minutes.
  • 04
    In a skillet, melt 2 tablespoons butter over medium-high heat. Add apples, 1/4 cup brown sugar, 1 teaspoon cinnamon and stir 3-4 minutes until apples are tender. Remove from heat.
  • 05
    Roll dough into a 15x10 inch rectangle. Rub the remaining 3 tablespoons softened butter all over the dough. In a small bowl stir together remaining brown sugar and cinnamon, sugar, and apple pie spice. Sprinkle mixture all over the buttered dough.
  • 06
    Using a slotted spoon, spoon apples over the cinnamon-sugar mixture. Roll up dough tightly and cut into 12 equal-sized pieces. Place cut-side-up in a greased 9x13 inch baking pan. Bake at 350°F for 25-30 minutes. Allow cooling somewhat before frosting.
  • 07
    Melt butter in a medium saucepan and boil for 2 minutes. Stir in brown sugar, reduce heat to medium-low and simmer for 2 minutes. Stir in heavy cream, remove from heat and pour into a large bowl. Stir in vanilla and powdered sugar.
  • 08
    Frost sightly cooled cinnamon rolls and serve or store in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
