Method
 

Dough Preparation
  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine flour, baking powder, salt, sugar, warm milk, and soft butter until fully blended and smooth. Cover and let rest for 15 minutes.
Filling Preparation
  1. Prepare the apple filling by dicing the apples. In a pan over medium heat, mix the apples, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, cornstarch, and water. Cook for about 10 minutes until apples are tender.
Dough Rolling
  1. Lightly flour your countertop and roll the dough into a rectangle about ¼ inch thick. Aim for a size of about 12x18 inches.
Roll Assembly
  1. Spread the apple filling evenly over the dough, roll it into a tight log, and cut into 8 equal slices.
Baking
  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the rolls for 20 minutes or until golden brown.
Glaze Preparation
  1. Whisk together powdered sugar and milk until smooth to achieve the desired drizzling consistency.
Serving
  1. Once baked, let the rolls cool for a few minutes, then drizzle the glaze over them. Serve warm.
