Apple Cinnamon Rolls

I am creating a new cinnamon roll recipe this morning and I hope it comes out ok.

1 cup milk, warmed for about 30-45 seconds in the microwave
1 large egg, slightly beaten
4 tablespoons butter, softened
3 1/3 cups bread flour
1/2 teaspoon apple pie spice
3 tablespoons sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 teaspoons bread machine yeast

For the filling
6 tbs unsalted butter, melted
1/3 cup packed brown sugar
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1 cup toasted and chopped pecans
1 cup chopped dried apples (sprinkle on top of filling)

Add the ingredients to your bread machine as recommended by manufacturer. Program for the bread cycle. When cycle is done, place dough on floured surface and let it rest for about 1o minutes.

Make the filling.

Roll dough into a rectangle, about 15x10-inches. Spread the filling all over the dough leaving a 1 inch border by the edges. Sprinkle the 1 cup of chopped dried apples over the filling.

Start at the long side and roll tightly. Press the seams together and place seam side down.

Cut roll in half, then into 6 more slices.

Place in a greased 13x9 baking dish.

Cover and let rise in a warm place for 45 minutes.

Preheat oven to 375. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes or until golden brown.

Cool in the pan.



All ready to rise

All done rising, now ready.

All out of the oven, the only problem was that some of apple pieces got burnt.

I put a little glaze on it.

I had to test one out and it was very good!!
