Equipment

  • large bowl
  • Saucepan
  • Baking Dish
  • Oven
  • Rolling Pin
  • Thermometer

Ingredients

For the Brioche Dough

  • 1 package Brioche Dough Store-bought works in a pinch.

For the Filling

  • 2 cups Apple Pie Filling Substitute with homemade apple compote if desired.
  • 1 cup Toasted Pecans Optional for nut-free delight.
  • 1/2 cup Brown Sugar Coconut sugar can be used for a twist.
  • 2 tablespoons Cinnamon Always use freshly ground for optimal taste.

For the Frosting

  • 8 ounces Cream Cheese Try mascarpone for a different flavor.
  • 2 cups Powdered Sugar Agave or maple syrup can be alternatives.

Instructions

Preparation

  • Mix the brioche dough ingredients in a large bowl. Knead until smooth and elastic, about 10 minutes. Let the dough rise in a warm spot for 1-2 hours or refrigerate overnight.
  • Peel and chop the apples. Cook them in a saucepan with sugar and cinnamon until tender, about 10 minutes. Allow the filling to cool.
  • Roll out the risen dough into a large rectangle. Spread the brown sugar and cinnamon mixture evenly. Top with the apple filling and sprinkle with toasted pecans.
  • Roll the dough tightly from the long side into a log. Slice into 12 even pieces and place in a greased baking dish.
  • Let the cut rolls rise again in a warm area for 30-45 minutes until puffy and fluffy.
  • Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake for 25-30 minutes until golden brown.
  • While cooling, whip up the cream cheese frosting and top the warm rolls generously.

Notes

Garnish with a sprinkle of cinnamon for an extra touch. Store in an airtight container for optimal freshness.
