Apple-Pecan Pull-Apart Rolls image

Store-bought apple butter pulls double duty in these marvelous morning buns: it's spread onto the dough before rolling, and it's simmered with brown sugar and butter for the sticky-sweet glaze. Toasted pecans and dried currants scattered throughout add just the right amount of texture.

Time 13h35m

Yield Makes 12

Number Of Ingredients 17

6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted, plus more, room-temperature, for bowl and dish
1 medium russet potato (8 ounces), peeled and cut into 1-inch pieces (1 1/4 cups)
1 cup whole milk
2 1/4 teaspoons active dry yeast (not rapid-rise; one whole 1/4-ounce envelope)
2/3 cup granulated sugar
1 large egg
3 1/2 cups bread flour, plus more for dusting
1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
3 tablespoons unsalted butter, room temperature
3 tablespoons apple butter, such as Red Jacket Orchards
2/3 cup packed light-brown sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Pinch kosher salt
1 cup chopped toasted pecans
1/2 cup dried currants or chopped raisins
3/4 cup packed light-brown sugar
4 tablespoons unsalted butter

Steps:

  • Dough: Brush a large bowl with butter; set aside. Place potato in a small pot of water and bring to a boil. Cook until fork-tender, 10 to 12 minutes; drain. Pass through a ricer or mash with a fork until smooth (to yield 2/3 cup); let cool slightly.
  • Heat milk until warm to the touch (110 degrees on a thermometer). Transfer to the bowl of a stand mixer; add yeast. Let stand until foamy, about 5 minutes. Stir in butter, granulated sugar, potato, egg, flour, and salt until a ragged dough forms. Place bowl on mixer fitted with the dough-hook attachment; mix on medium-low speed, scraping sides and removing dough from hook a few times, until soft and pliable, about 15 minutes. Transfer to a lightly floured surface; knead into a ball. Transfer to buttered bowl (dough will be very soft) and cover with plastic wrap. (Dough can be covered and refrigerated at this point up to 2 days). Let rise in a warm place until almost doubled, 1 hour and 10 minutes to 1 1/2 hours. Brush two 8-inch cake pans with butter; set aside.
  • Filling: In a bowl, stir together butter and apple butter. In another bowl, combine brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt. Punch down dough; transfer to a lightly floured surface. Roll out to a 14-by-18-inch rectangle. Spread evenly with butter mixture, leaving a 1/2-inch border on far long edge; top with brown-sugar mixture, pecans, and currants. Starting at long edge closest to you, roll dough away from you into a tight jelly-roll shape. Transfer, seam-side down, to a parchment-lined baking sheet and refrigerate until firm, about 30 minutes. Trim ends, then cut roll crosswise into twelve 1 1/2-inch-thick rounds with a serrated knife. Arrange, cut-sides up, in prepared pans; cover with plastic wrap. Refrigerate at least 8 hours, or overnight.
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Remove rolls from refrigerator and place in a warm spot until almost doubled in size, about 1 1/2 hours. Remove plastic and bake until browned on top and a thermometer inserted registers about 210 degrees, 30 to 35 minutes. Let cool in pans on a wire rack, 10 minutes.
  • Glaze: Meanwhile, heat brown sugar, butter, apple butter, and 1 tablespoon water in a saucepan over medium, stirring, until simmering; cook 1 minute. Drizzle over rolls; let cool at least 20 minutes. Serve.

APPLE CINNAMON ROLLS



Apple Cinnamon Rolls image

This came from the Yankton, South Dakota Press and Dakotan newspaper. My DD does not like cinnamon rolls (my child?) so I thought this might be more like a caramel apple and less like cinnamon. It is very caramel-like and the apples are soft and fragrant. Worth the time to make the filling. If you have a kitchen aid mixer, follow your manufacturer directions to make the dough with the mixer!

Tips:

  • To achieve a flaky and tender dough, make sure to use cold butter. Grate the butter or cut it into small pieces and work it into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
  • When rolling out the dough, use a floured surface to prevent the dough from sticking. Roll the dough out into a large rectangle, about 1/4-inch thick.
  • For the filling, use a generous amount of brown sugar and cinnamon. You can also add chopped nuts, raisins, or other dried fruits for extra flavor.
  • When rolling up the cinnamon rolls, start from the long side and roll tightly. Pinch the edges to seal the rolls and prevent the filling from leaking out.
  • Before baking, allow the cinnamon rolls to rise in a warm place for about 30 minutes. This will help them to become light and fluffy.
  • Bake the cinnamon rolls at a high temperature for the first 10 minutes, then reduce the temperature to finish baking. This will help to create a crisp outer crust and a soft and gooey interior.
  • While the cinnamon rolls are still warm, drizzle them with a simple glaze made from powdered sugar and milk. This will add a touch of sweetness and shine.

Conclusion:

Apple pecan cinnamon rolls are a delicious and indulgent treat that are perfect for any occasion. With their flaky dough, gooey filling, and sweet glaze, these cinnamon rolls are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them. So next time you're looking for a special breakfast or dessert, give these apple pecan cinnamon rolls a try!
