Sprinkle the active dry yeast over the milk and stir in 1 tablespoon of the sugar. Let the mixture sit for 5-10 minutes until frothy. Mix the Wet Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened butter, remaining sugar, eggs, and salt. Beat until smooth and creamy. Incorporate the Yeast Mixture: Pour the activated yeast mixture into the wet ingredients and mix thoroughly. Add the Flour: Gradually add the all-purpose flour, one cup at a time, mixing continuously until a soft, slightly sticky dough forms. Knead the Dough: Knead the dough on a floured surface for 5-7 minutes, or use a dough hook on medium speed for 5 minutes, until it becomes smooth and elastic. First Rise: Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a kitchen towel or plastic wrap, and let it rise in a warm area for 1-2 hours or until doubled in size. Part 2: Filling Ingredients: 175g packed light brown sugar (1 cup) 14g ground cinnamon (1 Tbsp) 75g butter, softened (5 Tbsp) 2 apples, peeled, cored, and chopped into small cubes 50g raisins (½ cup) 55g pecans or walnuts, chopped (½ cup) Instructions: In a medium bowl, mix together the brown sugar and cinnamon until evenly combined. Roll the risen dough into a large rectangle. Spread the softened butter over the entire surface of the dough. Evenly sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar mixture over the dough. Scatter the chopped apples, raisins, and pecans or walnuts on top of the cinnamon-sugar mixture. Roll the dough tightly into a log. Part 3: Second Rise & Baking Cut and Prepare: Slice the rolled dough into individual rolls. Place each roll into a greased cupcake tin to create individual servings. Second Rise: Cover the rolls and let them rise for 30-45 minutes until puffy. Bake: Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Bake the cinnamon rolls in the cupcake tin for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown on top. Part 4: Glaze Ingredients: 113g cream cheese, room temperature 28g butter, room temperature 240g powdered sugar (2 cups) 15 to 30g milk (1-2 Tbsp, adjust as needed) Instructions: In a large bowl, beat together the cream cheese and butter until smooth and creamy. Gradually add the powdered sugar, mixing well between each addition. Slowly pour in the milk, adjusting the consistency to be smooth and pourable. If needed, add more milk 15g at a time. Glaze the Rolls: Once the cinnamon rolls have cooled, drizzle the glaze generously over the top. Enjoy your Apple Pecan Cinnamon Rolls with a rich butter-cinnamon filling, and savor the delightful apple, pecan, and raisin combination!
