Instructions
- Add all apple filling ingredients to a medium pan over medium-high heat. Cook for 8–10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until desired tenderness is reached. If needed, add a splash more cider or water during cooking to keep it saucy. Once tender, thicken by stirring together cornstarch and water until dissolved; add to apple filling over medium heat and cook while stirring for another 30–60 seconds.
- In your stand mixer bowl, add melted butter, warm milk, beaten eggs, sugar, yeast, and salt. Whisk together. Switch to paddle attachment and add flour; mix on low speed until just combined. Let it rest for 5 minutes before adding dough hook. Knead on low speed for about 5–7 minutes until smooth but still slightly slack. Place in a greased bowl to rise for about 1 hour until doubled.
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a sheet pan with parchment paper. Whisk together flour, oats, brown sugar, salt, and cinnamon in a bowl. Cut cold butter into chunks; mix into dry ingredients until crumbly. Spread evenly on prepared sheet pan; bake for about 12–16 minutes until golden brown.
- Combine sauce ingredients in a bowl until well mixed. Spray a baking pan with nonstick spray; spread this thick mixture evenly in the bottom.
- Beat together all filling ingredients in a bowl on medium-high speed until creamy and combined.
- After dough has risen for about an hour, flour your counter generously. Roll out dough into approximately 14×24 inches. Spread cinnamon filling evenly across dough then top with apple filling.
- Cut strips from long side of dough about 1¾ inches thick; roll each strip tightly into rolls. Place in prepared pan over caramel sauce. Cover loosely with kitchen towel; let rise again for about 30–40 minutes.
- Pour room temperature cream over rolls before baking at 350°F for about 40–46 minutes until golden brown.
- Beat all frosting ingredients in a mixing bowl until creamy; adjust consistency with milk if desired.
- Frost warm rolls immediately after baking; top each with apple topping and crumble sprinkle. Enjoy fresh! Store leftovers in an airtight container in fridge for up to three days—great reheated!
