Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup water (warm)
  • 1 tablespoon active dry yeast
  • 1 teaspoon sugar
  • 1/3 cup sugar
  • 2 eggs (room temperature)
  • 1/3 cup butter (melted)
  • 1/2 cup sour cream (room temperature)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 3 1/4 cups flour
  • 4 ounces cream cheese
  • 1/4 caramel sauce
  • 2 large apples, cored and sliced
  • 2 tablespoons butter, melted
  • 1/3 cup sugar
  • 2 teaspoons cinnamon

Preparation

Step 1

Mix the water, yeast and sugar into a large bowl and let it sit until foamy, about 10 minutes.

Add the sugar, eggs, butter, sour cream, vanilla, salt and 2 cups of flour and mix for 2 minutes at medium or 200 strokes by hand.

Stir in enough of the remaining flour to make a soft dough.

Place the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead the dough until smooth, about 5 minutes. (The dough should feel soft and buttery and not sticky.)

Place the dough in a greased the bowl, cover with a damp towel and let the dough rise until it has doubled in size, about 1 hour and 30 minutes.

Mix everything until smooth.

Brush the butter on the dough and sprinkle on the mixture of the sugar and cinnamon.

Bake in a 375F/190C preheated oven until lightly golden brown, about 15-20 minutes.
