Preparation Instructions

To make the dough:
Heat milk, oil, and 1/2 cup sugar until warm (do not boil.) Allow to cool to lukewarm. Sprinkle in yeast and 4 cups flour. Stir gently and cover with a tea towel, allowing it to rise for 1 hour. After 1 hour, add remaining flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
To make the caramel topping:
Add 1 stick butter, brown sugar, corn syrup, cream, and optional apple brandy or apple juice. Allow to melt over low heat until totally combined. Allow to boil for a few seconds, then remove from heat. Set aside.
To make the rolls:
Roll out half the dough into a large rectangle. Pour on half the melted butter, half the remaining 3/4 cup sugar, and half the cinnamon. Roll into a long roll, then slice into rolls.
To assemble:
Spray 9-inch cake pan with cooking spray. Pour in half the caramel topping. Sprinkle diced apple over the top, then arrange sliced rolls all over the pan. Allow to rise for 20 to 30 minutes.
Bake at 375 degrees for 30 to 35 minutes, covered in foil for the first 25 minutes.
(Repeat with the other half of dough if desired, or save the dough in the fridge for another use.)
Invert on a cake pedestal or serving plate. Rolls will be very hot at first; allow to cool slightly before serving.

Heather Ashby
1 T yeast

1 1/2 c. warm water

1 T honey

4 c flour

1 tsp salt

1 cube melted butter (or less)

Garlic Powder

Parmesan Cheese

Parsley

Set aside yeast dissolved in warm water and honey. In a separate bowl mix together flour and salt. Add yeast mixture in with the flour. Knead dough for a few minutes. Roll out into a rectangle that is a little small than a cookie sheet. Spread butter over dough. Sprinkle with Garlic Powder, Parmesan Cheese and Parsley to taste. Cut into 1" strips and carefully move to a cookie sheet. (I usually cut the strips in half so they aren't so long) Place bread sticks in pan so they are touching each other. Let raise for 15 - 30 minutes. Bake at 425 degrees for 15-20 minutes.
