This came from the Yankton, South Dakota Press and Dakotan newspaper. My DD does not like cinnamon rolls (my child?) so I thought this might be more like a caramel apple and less like cinnamon. It is very caramel-like and the apples are soft and fragrant. Worth the time to make the filling. If you have a kitchen aid mixer, follow your manufacturer directions to make the dough with the mixer! Ingredients:
2 large cooking apples, peeled, cored and chopped |
2 tablespoons flour |
3/4 cup sugar |
1/4 cup butter |
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon |
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg |
5 -5 1/2 cups flour, divided |
1/2 cup sugar |
2 (1/4 ounce) packages quick-rising yeast |
1 teaspoon salt |
1/2 cup milk |
1/4 cup butter or 1/4 cup margarine |
3 large eggs |
3/4 cup sugar |
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon |
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg |
Directions:
1. To prepare apple filling:.
2. In medium saucepan, combine apples, flour sugar and butter.
3. Bring to a boil over medium high heat.
4. Cook 3 minutes.
5. Reduce heat to medium low and cook 10 minutes, stirring constantly until thick.

14. Stir in enough remaining flour to make a soft dough.
15. Knead dough on lightly floured surface until smooth and elastic, 8-10 minutes.
16. Cover and let rest 10 minutes.
17. Divide dough into 2 equal parts.
18. Roll each part into a 12x8 inch rectangle.
19. Spread cooled apple filling evenly over dough.
20. Beginning at long end of each rectangle, roll up dough as tightly as you would for a jelly roll.
21. Pinch seams to seal.
22. Cut each roll into 12 equal pieces.
23. Place, cut sides up, in two greased 9 inch round pans.
24. Cover and let rise in warm, draft-free place until doubled in size, about 45 minutes.
25. While dough is rising, prepare cinnamon-sugar topping.
26. Stir together sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg until well blended.
27. After dough has doubled in size, sprinkle rolls with cinnamon-sugar topping.
28. Bake in 375°F oven for 25-30 minutes or until done,.
