FOR THE DOUGH: – 1 large egg – 3 ½ cups all-purpose flour – 1 cup milk – ⅓ cup butter, melted – 2 ½ teaspoons yeast – ⅓ cup granulated sugar – ¼ teaspoon salt – Cooking oil, for greasing FOR THE APPLE PIE FILLING: – 1 can (21 ounces) apple pie filling – 2 tablespoons butter, melted – ¾ cup brown sugar – 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon FOR THE CREAM CHEESE FROSTING: – 2 ounces cream cheese – 1 tablespoon milk – 2 tablespoons butter – 1 cup powdered sugar – ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
Craving for a stronger, yummier apple flavor? Mix a small amount of apple butter into your cream cheese frosting before spreading it on the rolls. But take it easy – add it gradually! Starting with one tablespoon is a great idea. You don’t want to overdo it and end up with a frosting that’s too runny for those perfect rolls.
