List of Ingredients
Basic Sweet Roll Dough:
1 teaspoon plus 1/4 cup sugar
1/4 cup warm water
1 package (1/4 ounce) active dry yeast
1 cup milk (just slightly warm)
1 egg
1/2 teaspoon salt
4 tablespoons butter or margarine, melted
3 1/2 to 4 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
Apple Cinnamon Filling:
4 tablespoons butter or margarine, melted
1/3 cup sugar
1 to 1 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon (to taste)
1 cup cooked dried apples (sweetened to taste)
Recipe
Combine the 1 teaspoon sugar, warm water and yeast. Stir to mix and
set aside until bubbly. Grease two 9-inch cake pans or a 9-by-13-inch
baking pan.
In large bowl, combine the 1/4 cup sugar, milk, egg, salt and the 1/4
cup melted butter. Mix well. Add 1 cup of the flour and the yeast
mixture. Mix well.
Gradually add enough of the remaining flour to make a slightly firm dough.
On a lightly floured surface, knead the dough until it is smooth.
This will probably take about 4 to 5 minutes. Shape the dough into a
ball. Place into a large oiled bowl. Turn dough so that all surfaces
are lightly oiled. Cover and allow to rise in a warm place for about
an hour, or until dough has doubled in bulk. Punch down and roll to a
10-by-14 rectangle. Brush the dough with melted butter or margarine.
Combine the 1/3 cup sugar and the cinnamon. Sprinkle evenly over the
dough and top with apples. Roll the dough jelly-roll style, starting
with the 14-inch side. Pinch edges to seal. Carefully stretch the
dough to about 18 inches. Cut into slices about 3/4 inch thick. Place
cut side down in prepared pans. Cover and let rise about 45 minutes
or until almost doubled.
Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Bake for 18 to 20 minutes. Remove from
oven to a rack and cool slightly before glazing. Makes about 20 rolls.
Glaze:
2 to 2 1/2 cups confectioners' sugar
4 to 5 tablespoons apple juice (or milk)
Combine and beat until smooth. Spoon over rolls.
Note: Remember not to get the liquid too hot or you will kill the
yeast and the dough will not rise. The liquid should just be slightly
warm to the touch.
