Apple Pie Cinnamon Rolls

Ingredients

• 0.5 cup warm water (about 110°F)
• 0.25 oz active dry yeast (or instant yeast; 1 package)
• 1 tsp granulated sugar
• 0.333 cup butter (melted, plus more for brushing)
• 0.5 cup milk (at room temperature)
• 0.333 cup granulated sugar
• 1 tsp sea salt
• 2.75 cup all-purpose flour (plus more for kneading)

Steps

1. 1

   In a small bowl, combine the warm water (110°F), yeast, and 1 teaspoon of granulated sugar. Stir gently and let it sit for about 5-10 minutes until it becomes foamy.

2. 2

   In a large mixing bowl, combine the melted butter, room temperature milk, 1/3 cup granulated sugar, and sea salt.

3. 3

   Add the proofed yeast mixture to the milk mixture and stir to combine.

4. 4

   Gradually add the all-purpose flour to the wet ingredients, stirring until a soft dough forms.

5. 5

   Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for about 5-7 minutes until the dough is smooth and elastic.

6. 6

   Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover with a clean kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm, draft-free place for about 1 to 1.5 hours, or until doubled in size.
