Caramel Apple Cinnamon Rolls

Make one batch of cinnamon roll dough

Combine in a saucepan:
3 Tbs. butter
3 c. diced apples
3 Tbs. sugar
1 tsp. cinnamon

Cook over med-low heat for 15 minutes, until apples are soft.

While the apples are cooking, roll out the dough into a large rectangle.  Melt 4 Tbs. butter and mix with 1/4 c. brown sugar.  Spread over dough.   Sprinkle with cinnamon.

When apples are done, spread them on top of the dough.

Roll up, cut about 1.5" thick (I like to use dental floss wrapped around the dough and pull it) and place on cookie sheet.  Rise 15-20 minutes (longer if needed).

Bake at 375 degrees for 12-15 minutes.

Serve with caramel frosting:

Melt and cook in a saucepan for 2 minutes:
4 Tbs. butter
1/2 c. brown sugar

Remove from heat and add:
3 Tbs. cream
1 c. powdered sugar
1 tsp. vanilla
1/2 tsp. salt

Cool and serve on top of rolls.
