Instructions
- Heat the milk in the microwave just until warm to the touch (about 110°F), about 30 seconds. Add the milk, sugar, and yeast to the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a dough hook. Let the mixture sit until the yeast becomes foamy, about 5 minutes.,Add the egg and egg yolk and mix until combined. Add the flour and salt and continue to mix on medium speed until the ingredients come together into a ball of dough. Mix in the butter 2 tablespoons at a time, waiting until each addition is incorporated before adding more.,Once all of the butter is incorporated, knead the dough on medium speed for 8 minutes. The dough should have a smooth, shiny surface.,Simply Recipe / Hannah Zimmerman
- Transfer the ball of dough to a greased bowl and cover the bowl with plastic wrap. Let the dough rise in a warm place until it has doubled in size, 1 to 2 hours.,Simply Recipe / Hannah Zimmerman
- On a floured surface, roll out the dough into a 9x14 inch rectangle.,Mix the brown sugar and cinnamon together in a small bowl.,Use a pastry brush to spread the softened butter evenly over the rectangle of dough, leaving a 1/2-inch border around the edges. Sprinkle the brown sugar mixture on top. Top with the chopped apples.,Simply Recipe / Hannah Zimmerman,Simply Recipe / Hannah Zimmerman

Using a sharp knife or a piece of unflavored dental floss, cut the log of dough into nine 1-inch pieces.,Transfer the cinnamon rolls to a greased 9x9 baking dish so the cut side is facing up. Cover with plastic wrap or a dish towel. Put it in a warm place and let the dough rise again until they look pillowy and are touching one another in the dish, 30 minutes to an hour.,Simply Recipe / Hannah Zimmerman,Simply Recipe / Hannah Zimmerman
