Instructions
In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, granulated sugar, instant yeast, and salt.
In a small saucepan, heat the milk, butter, and water over low heat until the butter has melted. Remove from heat and let it cool for a few minutes.
Add the warm milk mixture, vanilla extract, and eggs to the dry ingredients. Mix until a soft dough forms.
Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and knead for about 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic.
Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a clean kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1-2 hours or until doubled in size.
Punch down the dough and roll it out on a floured surface into a rectangle of about 12x16 inches.
Spread the softened butter over the dough, leaving a small border around the edges.
Sprinkle on the apples and cinnamon sugar. Starting with the long edge closest to you, roll the dough into a log.
Cut the log into 12 equal-sized rolls. Place the rolls in a greased baking dish, leaving a little space between each.
Cover the baking dish with a kitchen towel and let the rolls rise for another 30-45 minutes.
Preheat the oven to 350°F.
Bake the rolls for about 20-25 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through.
Brown Butter Maple Glaze:
Melt the butter in a small or medium saucepan and cook for around 5 minutes or until the butter brown. Set aside.
Sift powdered sugar into the bowl of a stand mixer and beat in heavy cream and melted butter for about 3 minutes until creamy.
Beat in the maple syrup until well combined. When all of the ingredients are incorporated, briefly beat over high speed.
Drizzle glaze over warm rolls, serve and enjoy.
Notes
Ensure the dough is smooth and elastic after kneading for light and fluffy cinnamon rolls.
Allow the dough to double in size during the first rise for optimal texture and flavor.
Roll the dough into a tight log to create well-defined layers in the cinnamon rolls.
Adjust glaze thickness by adding more powdered sugar for a thicker glaze or more maple syrup for a thinner consistency.
