Method

  1. Make the apple pie filling

    • Melt the butter in a frying pan, then add the diced apples, lemon juice, brown sugar, salt and cinnamon.

    • Stir in the cornstarch slurry and cook until the filling thickens, then set aside to cool.
    Step 1

  2. Activate the yeast

    • Warm the milk slightly and stir in the yeast and honey.
    • Let it stand until foamy.
    Step 2

  3. Make the dough

    • In a mixing bowl, combine the egg, egg yolk, sugar, salt and the yeast mixture.
    • Add the bread flour and knead into a dough, then knead in the softened butter until smooth and elastic.
    • Cover and let rise until doubled in size.
    Step 3

  4. Prepare the cinnamon sugar filling

    • Mix the softened butter with the brown sugar, cinnamon and nutmeg into a spreadable paste.
    Step 4

  5. Roll and fill the dough

    • Roll the risen dough into a rectangle on a floured surface.
    • Spread the cinnamon sugar filling over the dough, then spread a portion of the apple pie filling on top.
    • Roll the dough up tightly and cut into 9 rolls.
    Step 5

  6. Proof the rolls

    • Arrange the rolls in a square baking dish.
    • Cover and let proof until doubled in size.

  7. Bake the rolls

    • Pour the heavy cream over the proofed rolls.

    Step 7

  8. Make the cinnamon cream cheese icing

    • Beat the softened butter and cream cheese until smooth.
    • Add the cinnamon, icing sugar and enough heavy cream to reach a spreadable consistency.
