- Next pour in your milk/ yeast mixture and mix until combined.
- Now we will let hte dough rise for an hour, cover with a cloth and let rise till its about double its size.
- While this is rising, we will get the apples ready! Peel skins off apples, and dice into pieces.
- Place apples in a skillet, add butter and sugar. Cook apples on stove at about medium, until apples are tender.
- Once apples are ready, place in a bowl and mix them with the additional apple ingredients. Set aside.
- Next lets get the filling ready, get another bowl–mix together softened butter, brown sugar and cinnamon.
- Your filling is ready and now your dough should be ready to rollout!
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees
- Roll out dough on a lightly floured surface, make into a large recetangle shape.
- Melt some butter in the microwave until it is liquid. You will then brush this on the dough leaving about an inch for the edge.
- Now spread on your filling evenly and then spread on your apple filling.
- Once ready you are then going to roll this into a log–about 12-15 inches long.
- Have a greased pan ready to place cinnamon rolls in.

- Preheat oven to 350 degrees, you will then cover your rolls with a damp paper towel for 30 minutes and let them rise again.
- Place in oven and bake for 20-25 minutes until dough it cooked.
Now for the finishing touches! Lets get the icing started!!
- First we will do the carmel icing, that will go on first then get covered with the cream cheese icing.
- In a medium sauce pan, melt your butter and brown sugar until the sugar is dissolved at about medium heat.
- Next add in your condensed milk and bring to a boil on medium high heat for about 2 minutes. You will need to watch this carefully so it doesn’t burn.
- Remove from heat, stir and then spread over your rolls.
- For the cream cheese icing, mix together softended cream cheese and butter until creamy.
- Then mix in your vanilla and milk. Add salt, and then gradually mix in your powdered sugar.
- Spread icing over the carmel icing.
