Cream Cheese Rolls with Apple Jam Recipe

In a small saucepan, warm the milk until it's lukewarm. Be careful not to overheat it. Add yeast to the milk and let it sit for about 5 minutes until it's frothy.

In a large bowl, combine the flour, sugar, and cinnamon. Add the yeast mixture, softened butter, and the egg. Mix until combined, then knead the dough for about 5-10 minutes until smooth and elastic.

Place the kneaded dough into a greased bowl, cover it with a damp cloth or plastic wrap, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 to 1.5 hours, or until it doubles in size.

While the dough is rising, in a separate bowl, mix the cream cheese and sugar together until smooth and creamy. Set this mixture aside.

Once the dough has risen, punch it down to remove excess air and roll it out on a floured surface into a rectangle.

Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the rolled-out dough, leaving a small border around the edges. Then, add a layer of apple jam on top of the cream cheese. Roll the dough tightly into a log.

Cut the log into equal pieces about 2.5 inches wide and place them cut side up in a greased baking dish.

In a small bowl, mix the butter, sugar, and flour together until crumbly. Sprinkle this mixture over the top of the rolls.

Cover the dish with a clean towel and let the rolls rise again for about 30 minutes. Preheat your oven to 180 degrees Celsius (350 degrees Fahrenheit).

Brush the tops of the rolls with egg yolk for a nice glaze. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through.

Once baked, remove the rolls from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your delicious cream cheese rolls with a side of apple jam!
