Ingredients

Scale

4 cups all-purpose flour
1 packet (2 ¼ tsp) active dry yeast
½ cup granulated sugar
1 cup warm milk (110°F)
⅓ cup unsalted butter, melted
2 large apples, sliced (preferably Granny Smith)
1 tbsp ground cinnamon
½ cup brown sugar
1 cup powdered sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

In a bowl, combine warm milk, sugar, and yeast; let sit for 5 minutes until frothy.
In a large bowl, mix flour and salt. Create a well in the center; add melted butter and yeast mixture. Stir until combined.
Knead on a floured surface for about 5 minutes until smooth. Place in an oiled bowl; cover and let rise for 1 hour or until doubled.
Roll out dough into a rectangle (½ inch thick). Spread softened butter over it, then sprinkle with brown sugar, cinnamon, and sliced apples.
Roll tightly from one long side to another; slice into equal pieces (about 1 inch thick).
Place in a greased baking dish; cover and let rise for another 30 minutes while preheating oven to 375°F.
Bake for about 25 minutes until golden brown.
For icing, mix powdered sugar with vanilla extract and enough milk to achieve drizzling consistency; drizzle over warm rolls before serving.
