Instructions

1 Warm milk to around 110 degrees F. Be careful that it isn't too hot, just warm
to the touch. Transfer to the bowl of an electric mixer and sprinkle yeast on
top. Then, stir in the sugar, room-temperature egg and egg yolk, melted butter,
and vanilla extract. Mix until well combined.
2 Stir in the flour, and salt. Using the dough hook on the stand mixer, knead the
dough for 8 minutes. The dough should form into a ball and be slightly tacky.
It's it is sticking to the bottom of the mixer, add 1-2 tablespoons more flour.
If kneading by hand, knead the dough on floured work surface for 8-10 minutes.
3 Transfer the dough ball to a well-oiled bowl, cover it with plastic wrap, and
place it in a warm draft-free place (I like to use my microwave with a bowl of
very warm water.) Allow the dough to rise for 1 to 1 ½ hours or until doubled in
size.
4 Transfer the dough to a well-floured surface and roll it into a 12×18-inch
rectangle. Spread softened butter over the dough, leaving a 1-inch margin at the
opposite long side of the dough. Then, spread the apple butter over the butter
(if using).
5 Combine the brown sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl and sprinkle over the
butter. Using your fingers, rub the brown sugar into the butter. Top with
chopped apples.
6 Tightly roll up the dough, beginning at the long edge and place seam side down,
ensuring the edges are sealed as best as possible. I like to trim the ends so
that all of the cinnamon rolls are more uniform and there is more filling in
each. Then, using a sharp serrated knife, cut into 12 equal slices (usually
about 1 inch each).
7 Place cinnamon rolls in a greased 13 x 9 inch pan inch baking pan. Cover with
plastic wrap and let rise for 30-45 minutes.
8 Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 350℉. When risen, bake for 20 to 25 minutes or
until just slightly golden brown on the edges. Let the cinnamon rolls cool for
5-10 minutes before icing.
9 Whisk together the icing ingredients until you reach the desired pouring
consistency. Drizzle over warm cinnamon rolls.
