Ingredients
Apple Fritter Filling
- 6 medium Granny Smith apples, peeled, cored, and diced
- 1 cup (200 g) light brown sugar, packed
- 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
- ¼ cup (½ stick / 57 g) unsalted butter
Dough
- ⅔ cup whole milk, warmed (about 110°F)
- 5 tablespoons granulated sugar, divided
- 2 teaspoons active dry yeast
- 2 large eggs, room temperature
- 2¾ cups (344 g) all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- ½ cup (1 stick / 113 g) unsalted butter, cut into 1-inch pieces, room temperature
Instructions
Apple Fritter Filling
- In a medium bowl combine apples, brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt. Toss to coat apples evenly.
- In a saucepan over medium heat, melt butter. Add apple mixture and cook until apples are tender (about 5 minutes). Allow to cool as you prepare the dough.
Dough
- In a medium bowl, combine milk and 1 tablespoon sugar. Sprinkle yeast over milk and whisk to blend. Let sit until yeast is foamy, about 5 minutes. Add eggs; whisk until smooth.
- Combine remaining 4 tablespoons sugar, flour, and salt in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a dough hook. Add the milk mixture and mix until combined.
- With the mixer running on low, add butter, 1 piece at a time, mixing well between each addition.
- Knead on medium speed for 1 minute. Knead on medium-high speed until the dough is soft, about 5 minutes.
- Spray a large bowl with nonstick cooking spray. Transfer the dough to the bowl. Cover with plastic wrap that has been lightly sprayed with nonstick cooking spray.
- Let dough rise in a warm area until doubled in size, about 1 hour.
Assembly
- When you are ready, punch down the dough. Turn the dough out onto a floured surface, and roll it into a 10x15-inch rectangle (it should be about ¼-inch thick).
- Spread the apple mixture over the dough, reserving one cup for the topping.
- Roll up tightly starting on the long edge.
- Using a very sharp knife, cut the log into 12 rolls. Lightly spray a 9x13-inch baking dish with cooking spray. Place the rolls into the prepared baking dish. Allow the rolls to rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until doubled.
- Sprinkle the reserved cup of apples over the tops of the sweet rolls.
- Bake at 350°F for 25-30 minutes.
