Ingredients
Scale
- 500 g all-purpose flour
- 1½ tsp salt
- 2¼ tsp instant dry yeast
- 120 g sugar
- 240 ml lukewarm milk
- 60 g unsalted melted butter cooled to room temperature
- 1 egg at room temperature
- ½ tsp vanilla extract or essence
- 900 g apples (I like to use Pink Lady, Fuji or Royal Gala)
- 60 g unsalted butter
- 170 g brown sugar
- 1 tbsp ground cinnamon
- 1 tbsp cornstarch
- ¼ tsp salt
- 2 tbsp water
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine flour, salt, and yeast.
- In another bowl, whisk together lukewarm milk, melted butter, sugar, egg, and vanilla extract. Mix wet ingredients into dry until a soft dough forms.
- Knead the dough on a floured surface for 5-7 minutes until smooth. Let it rise in a greased bowl covered with a cloth for about 1 hour.
- For the filling, cook diced apples with butter, brown sugar, cinnamon, cornstarch, salt, and water until tender.
- Roll out the dough into a rectangle, spread the apple filling evenly over it, then roll tightly and slice into pieces.
- Allow rolls to rise in a greased baking dish for another 30 minutes before baking at 180°C (350°F) for about 40 minutes until golden brown.
