Instructions

  1. In a bowl, mix lukewarm milk and sugar; sprinkle yeast on top and let sit until foamy.
  2. In a stand mixer, combine flour and salt. Add the yeast mixture, eggs, and softened butter; mix until dough forms. Knead until smooth.
  3. Place dough in a greased bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and let rise until doubled in size (about 1 hour).
  4. For filling: Melt butter in a saucepan; add diced apples, sugar, cinnamon, salt, and cornstarch; cook until apples soften. Stir in pecans.
  5. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Roll out risen dough into a rectangle; spread apple filling evenly over it and roll tightly. Cut into pieces.
  6. Place rolls on a parchment-lined baking sheet and bake for 25-30 minutes until golden brown.
  7. For frosting: Beat softened butter and cream cheese with powdered sugar and heavy whipping cream until smooth.
  8. Drizzle frosting over warm rolls before serving.
