How to Make Apple and Cinnamon Rolls

Follow these simple steps to create your own batch of Apple and Cinnamon Rolls.

Step 1: Prepare the Dough

In a large mixing bowl, combine warm milk, granulated sugar, and active dry yeast. Stir to dissolve the sugar and activate the yeast. Let it sit for 5-10 minutes, until it becomes frothy.

Next, add melted butter, egg, and salt to the yeast mixture. Gradually add the flour, mixing until a dough begins to form. Once the dough comes together, transfer it to a lightly floured surface and knead for about 5-7 minutes, until smooth and elastic. If the dough is too sticky, add a little more flour, but be careful not to make it too dry.

Step 2: Let the Dough Rise

Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl and cover with a damp cloth or plastic wrap. Allow it to rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until it has doubled in size.
