- 1 tbsp active dry yeast
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 cup warm milk

- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2 tbsp all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
- 1/4 tsp salt

- 1/4 cup unsalted butter
Instructions
Step 1: Make the dough
In a large bowl, combine the flour, sugar, melted butter, yeast, and salt. Mix well.
Add the warm milk and egg to the bowl and stir until the dough forms a ball.
Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 5 minutes, until it becomes smooth and elastic.
Step 2: Let the dough rise
Place the dough in a greased bowl and cover it with a towel. Let it rise in a warm place for about an hour, until it doubles in size.
Step 3: Make the apple pie filling
In a large saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat.
Add the sliced apples, sugar, flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt, and lemon juice to the saucepan. Stir well.
Cook the mixture for about 10 minutes, until the apples are tender and the filling has thickened. Remove from heat.
Step 4: Roll out the dough
On a floured surface, roll out the dough into a large rectangle shape.
Spread the softened butter over the surface of the dough.
Mix together the brown sugar and cinnamon and sprinkle it evenly over the buttered dough.
Step 5: Add the apple pie filling
Spoon the apple pie filling over the cinnamon and sugar mixture, spreading it evenly.
Step 6: Roll up the dough
Starting with the long end of the rectangle, tightly roll up the dough into a log shape.
Cut the log into 12 equal pieces and place them in a greased baking dish.
Step 7: Let the buns rise
Cover the baking dish with a towel and let the cinnamon buns rise in a warm place for about 30 minutes, until they double in size.
Step 8: Bake the buns
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Bake the cinnamon buns for about 25 minutes, until they are golden brown and cooked through.
Step 9: Enjoy!
Remove the cinnamon buns from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes before serving.
