Instructions

Step 1

Prepare the Dough

In a large mixing bowl, combine all-purpose flour, instant dry yeast, sugar, and salt. Mix well to ensure even distribution of the dry ingredients.

Add the warm milk, melted butter, and the egg. Mix until a dough forms.

Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 10 minutes until it is smooth and elastic. Place it in a greased bowl and cover with a kitchen towel. Let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until doubled in size.

Step 2

Make the Apple Filling

While the dough is rising, prepare the apple filling. In a bowl, combine the sliced apples, sugar, cinnamon, and lemon juice. Toss gently to coat the apples well and set aside.

Step 3

Shape the Rolls

Once the dough has risen, punch it down and roll it out on a floured surface into a large rectangle, about 1 cm thick. Cut the dough into triangles for the crescent shape.

Place a spoonful of the apple filling at the wide end of each triangle. Roll the dough towards the point, creating a crescent shape. Place the rolls on a lined baking tray.

Step 4

Final Rising and Baking

Cover the shaped rolls with a kitchen towel and let them rise for another 30 minutes until puffed up.

Preheat your oven to 180 degrees Celsius (350 degrees Fahrenheit). Bake the rolls for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown.

Allow to cool slightly before serving warm. Enjoy your delicious apple crescent rolls!

Faq

  • What if my dough is too sticky?

    If your dough is too sticky, sprinkle a little more flour while kneading until it’s manageable. Be careful not to add too much flour, as it can make your rolls dense.

  • Can I use other fruits besides apples?

    Absolutely! Pears, peaches, or berries can be delicious alternatives. Just adjust the sugar levels depending on the fruit's sweetness.

  • How do I know when my rolls are done baking?

    Your rolls should be golden brown on the outside. A toothpick inserted in the center should come out clean or with just a few crumbs.

  • Can I freeze the rolls before baking?

    Yes! You can freeze unbaked rolls. Just place them on a baking sheet until frozen, then transfer to a freezer bag. Bake them straight from the freezer, adding a few extra minutes to the baking time.

  • What is the best way to store leftover rolls?

    Store any leftover rolls in an airtight container at room temperature. For longer freshness, keep them in the fridge or freeze them for later!

  • How can I enhance the flavor of the filling?

    Consider adding spices like cinnamon or nutmeg, or even a splash of vanilla extract to boost the flavor profile of your filling!
