- 1/4 cup sugar
- 2 tablespoons active dry yeast
- 1/4 cup butter, melted
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tablespoon salt
- 5½–6 cups all-purpose flour
- 3 large apples, gala, honeycrisp, granny smith, or another tart and sweet variety
- 1/3 cup butter, melted, or very soft

- 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
- 1/2 teaspoon ginger
- 1/4 teaspoon cloves
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 cup butter
- 1 cup dark brown sugar
- 1/2 cup karo syrup

Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, combine the warm water, sugar, and yeast; mix well and let sit for 5-10 minutes until bubbly.
- Add melted butter, eggs, salt, and 2 cups of flour; mix on low with a bread hook for 2 minutes until well combined.
- Add an additional 3½ cups of flour, mixing on low until combined. You may need to add up to 1/2 cup more flour until the dough pulls away from the bowl.
- Cover the bowl with a kitchen towel and let the dough rise in a warm place for about 30 minutes or until it doubles in size.
- Once risen, turn the dough out onto a floured surface and form it into a small rectangle. Roll the dough into a 24" x 12" rectangle, about 1/2" thick.
Notes
For added richness, use a higher fat content butter.
Letting the dough rise adequately ensures fluffy rolls.
Experiment with different apple varieties for unique flavors.
