½ cup granulated sugar
1 cup whole milk (warm)
¼ cup unsalted butter (melted)
2 tsp ground cinnamon
2 medium Granny Smith apples (peeled and diced)

Instructions

Warm the milk to about 110°F (43°C) and mix with yeast; let sit for 5 minutes.
Combine melted butter and sugar into the yeast mixture, then gradually add flour to form a soft dough.
Knead dough on a floured surface for about 5 minutes until smooth. Let rise in an oiled bowl, covered, for 1 hour.
Mix diced apples with brown sugar and cinnamon for the filling.
Roll out risen dough into a rectangle, spread softened butter over it, then evenly layer the apple mixture.
Roll tightly into a log, slice into 12 pieces, and place in a greased baking dish. Let rise for another 30 minutes.
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and bake rolls for approximately 25 minutes or until golden brown.
Drizzle with icing made from icing sugar mixed with milk before serving.
