Apple Butter Sweet Rolls
Smear these rolls with cream cheese frosting and you’re looking at heaven in a skillet.
Apple Butter Sweet Rolls
Makes 10
Ingredients
- Master Dough (recipe precedes)
- ½ cup apple butter
- ½ cup firmly packed light brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 Pink Lady apple, thinly sliced
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
- 2 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 2 cups confectioners’ sugar
- 2 to 4 tablespoons whole milk
- ¼ teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Prepare Master Dough, and let rise as directed. Spray a 12-inch castiron skillet with cooking spray.
- Lightly punch down dough. On a lightly floured surface, roll dough into a 14×10-inch rectangle. Spread apple butter over dough.
- In a small bowl, stir together brown sugar, flour, and cinnamon. Sprinkle sugar mixture over apple butter; top with apple slices. Starting with one long side, roll dough into a log; pinch seam to seal. Slice into 10 rolls. Place rolls in prepared skillet. Cover and let rise in a warm, draft-free place (75°) until doubled in size, about 45 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 350°. Bake, uncovered, until golden brown, about 30 minutes. Let cool for 15 minutes.
- In a medium bowl, beat butter and cream cheese with a mixer at medium speed until smooth. Add confectioners’ sugar, milk, and vanilla, beating until smooth. Spread glaze over warm rolls.
I think somebody bumped their noggin. Rosemary? Garnish with sea salt and pepper? For
Hi Jeff! That recipe is correct. The rosemary gives the bread amazing flavor! It’s one of my personal favorite recipes—my family adores it.
I am looking at the recipe in the taste of the south fall baking magazine. The directions are not the same as they are on this page. The ingredients are correct but the directions are not. There is no olive oil or rosemary for this recipe, and no mention of sea salt and pepper for garnish. I think someone had mixed up 2 different bread recipes.
Hi Stephanie! I think the recipe you’re looking at is for our Rosemary Focaccia. This is a list post that contains multiple bread recipes all using the same master dough. If you click the third page, you’ll find the Pumpkin Twist recipe. Hope this helps!
