Ingredients
- For the dough:
- 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
- 1 egg
- ½ tsp vanilla extract
- For the apple pie filling:
- 900 g apples, peeled and cubed
- 60 g unsalted butter
- 170 g brown sugar
- 1 tbsp ground cinnamon
- 1 tbsp cornstarch
- ¼ tsp salt
- 2 tbsp water
Instructions
- For the dough: Mix lukewarm milk, egg, vanilla extract, and melted butter. In a separate bowl, combine dry ingredients. Make a well in the dry ingredients and add the wet ingredients. Mix until a uniform, sticky dough forms.
- Cover the dough and let it rest for 1 hour, or until doubled in size. If your kitchen is cold, place it in the oven with the light on.
- For the apple pie filling: Peel, core, and cube the apples.
- Cook apples with butter, brown sugar, cinnamon, cornstarch, salt, and water in a saucepan for 10-15 minutes until apples are soft and sauce thickens.
- Let the filling cool completely. Reserve ¼ of the filling for later.
- Assembly: Lightly flour a clean tabletop. Roll out the dough into a 40×30 cm rectangle.
- Spread the apple pie filling evenly over the dough.
- Roll the dough tightly from one end to the other.
- Cut the rolls into 3-finger thick slices.
- Place the rolls on a baking pan lined with parchment paper, leaving space between them.
- Let the rolls rest for 30 minutes in a warm place.
- Bake at 180°C/350°F for 20-30 minutes, or until golden brown.
- Spread the reserved apple filling on top of the baked rolls.
Notes
- The sticky dough is intentional and creates a gooey texture.
- Ensure the apple filling is completely cool before spreading it on the dough.
- Leaving space between the rolls allows them to rise properly.
- The reserved apple filling is used after baking for extra flavor.
