Instructions
- In a large bowl, add warm milk, sugar, and yeast. Let it sit for about 5 minutes until frothy
- Add softened butter, salt, eggs, and flour to the bowl and mix well.
- Place dough into an oiled bowl, cover and let rise in a warm place about 30-40 minutes or until the dough has doubled in size.
- In a large nonstick pan, heat sugar until it starts to caramelize. Stir to incorporate and then when caramel is a nice amber colour, add the butter and stir to combine.
- Add the apples and stir to coat, cooking for 2 minutes, remove from heat.
- Arrange apples in a large deep rectangular baking sheet. Set aside
- Roll the dough out on a lightly floured surface, until it is approx 16 inches long by 12 inches wide. It should be approx ¼ inch thick.
- Spread butter evenly over the dough, leaving 2 cm at the top edge bare.
- Mix together brown sugar and cinnamon, sprinkle over butter evenly. Roll dough into a large log. Take the back of a knife and measure the dough into 12 even pieces.
- Using a piece of string or plain floss, cut into 12 swirls. Arrange on top of the apples. Cover and let rise until doubled about 30 minutes.
- While rising, preheat oven to 200ºC. Bake rolls for 25 minutes until golden brown on top.
- Let cool slightly. Place a large serving board on top. Flip the tin to reveal the apples and caramel sauce. Enjoy!
