Deliciously gooey apple cinnamon rolls filled with fresh Granny Smith apples, cinnamon, and brown sugar, topped with a sweet glaze.

  • Total Time: 45 minutes
  • Yield: 12 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup butter, melted
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 1/4 tsp active dry yeast
  • 2 Granny Smith apples, diced
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 2 tsp ground cinnamon
  • Pinch of nutmeg (optional)
  • Glaze: 1 cup powdered sugar, 2-3 tbsp milk, dash of vanilla

Instructions

  1. Bloom the yeast by mixing it with warm milk and a bit of sugar. Let it sit for 5 minutes until frothy.
  2. In a large bowl, combine flour, eggs, melted butter, and the yeast mixture.
  3. Mix until the dough is sticky, then knead until smooth.
  4. Let the dough rise covered in a warm place until doubled in size (about 1-2 hours).
  5. Dice the apples and toss them with brown sugar and cinnamon.
  6. Roll out the dough, spread the apple mixture evenly, and roll it up tightly.
  7. Slice the roll into thick rounds and place them in a greased pan, allowing space between them.
  8. Let the rolls rise again until puffy, then bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) until golden brown, about 25-30 minutes.
  9. Prepare the glaze by whisking powdered sugar with milk and vanilla.
  10. Drizzle the glaze over the warm rolls and enjoy!

Notes

For the best flavor, use fresh Granny Smith apples. Allow the rolls to cool slightly before adding glaze to prevent it from melting away.
