Preparation

Step 1

1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Spray a 9x13-inch baking pan with nonstick spray.

2. Prepare the apple filling: Melt butter in a medium skillet. Add apples and sugars. Saute until apples are slightly softened, about 5 minutes. Set aside to cool.

3. Prepare the cinnamon-sugar filling: Mix ingredients in a medium bowl until mixture is combined and lumpy.

4. Prepare the cinnamon roll dough: Mix flour, sugar, baking powder and salt in a medium bowl. In a separate bowl, use a whisk to combine the butter, applesauce, milk and egg. Add the wet mixture to the dry ingredients and use a wooden spoon to combine until well mixed. Remove the dough to a well-floured surface, sprinkling in more flour as needed to make sure the dough isn't sticky. Roll the dough out into a (roughly) 12x8-inch rectangle. Sprinkle the dough with the cinnamon-sugar mixture, then the cooled apples. Roll up the dough log-style. Cut 1-inch slices and carefully place them in the prepared dish, leaving a little bit of space between each roll. Bake 20 to 25 minutes, or until the rolls are a nice golden brown.

5. Prepare the icing: In a medium bowl, mix the icing ingredients until smooth. Spoon icing over the warm rolls. Serve warm. Leftovers may be stored in a covered container and enjoyed later.
