Hi, I'm Sue Walker and I'm going to show you an apple cinnamon rolls recipe. The ingredients are one cup of hot water, one teaspoon of salt, one half cup of sugar, one half cup of butter, three eggs lightly beaten, four and one half cups of flour, two packages of active dry yeast, one-fourth cup of tepid warm water and one half teaspoon of sugar. And, for the filling you will need one half cup of brown sugar, one half cup of white sugar, one tablespoon of cinnamon, one can of apple pie filling and one half cup of soft butter. The first step is to proof the yeast, so take your yeast and pour it into one-fourth cup of tepid water and one teaspoon of sugar and mix it. Pour the hot water into a large mixing bowl and to the hot water add the salt, the butter and the sugar and mix it together. Let this mixture sit until the butter is melted and then let it cool. Now we can add the eggs and the yeast. Mix in the flour until completely mixed in. The dough will be very, very sticky, but don't let that worry you. Cover and let rise until double. After the dough has risen, punch it down with your hand. Cover it with a towel and place in the refrigerator for a few hours. After the dough is chilled, take the dough out of the bowl and sprinkle with a little flour. Knead the dough a few times until smooth. Take a rolling pin and roll it out into a rectangle. Spread the dough with your soft butter. Put the apple filling into a food processor and process until smooth then spread the apple filling over the dough. Now mix the sugars and cinnamon together and sprinkle over the dough. Starting at the edge closest to you, take the dough in your fingers and start rolling it. You want to roll it as tight as you can, just keep rolling and if your fingers get too sticky, add a little flour to your fingers and just keep rolling until it is all rolled up. To cut the individual rolls, take a long piece of thread, slide it underneath the roll, and cut your rolls into one and a half to two-inch thick slices. Place your rolls in a greased cake pan, cover your rolls with a towel, and let them rise until they're double in size. Bake at 350 degrees for 25 to 30 minutes. When they're done, take them out and let them cool, and then you can frost them with frosting if you wish. And that is an apple cinnamon rolls recipe.
