Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups water, luke warm
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 2 tablespoons active dry yeast
- 1/4 cup butter, melted
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tablespoon salt
- 5½–6 cups all-purpose flour
- 3 large apples, gala, honeycrisp, granny smith, or another tart and sweet variety
- 1/3 cup butter, melted, or very soft
- 2/3 cup brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
- 1/2 teaspoon ginger
- 1/4 teaspoon cloves
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 cup butter
- 1 cup dark brown sugar
- 1/2 cup karo syrup
- 1/2 15-ounce can sweetened condensed milk
Instructions
- In the bowl of a stand mixer, combine warm water, sugar, and yeast. Stir well and let sit for 5-10 minutes until it bubbles.
- Add melted butter, eggs, salt, and 2 cups of flour. Mix on low with the bread hook for 2 minutes until well combined.
- Add an additional 3½ cups of flour and mix on low to combine. You may need to add up to 1/2 cup more flour until the dough pulls away from the bowl. Knead on low for 3 more minutes.
- Cover the bowl with a kitchen towel and let the dough rest in a warm place for about 30 minutes until it doubles in size.
- Turn the dough onto a floured surface and shape it into a small rectangle. Roll it into an approximately 24" x 12" rectangle, about 1/2" thick.
Notes
Ensure the water is luke warm to activate the yeast appropriately.
If the dough is sticky, add a little more flour until the right consistency is achieved.
Letting the rolls rest before baking enhances their fluffiness.
