📝 Preparation Steps
1
Grease and line a 9’x13” baking pan with parchment paper.
2
Let the dough come to room temperature on the counter. On a lightly floured surface roll the dough into an 18-inch by 12-inch rectangle. Spread the softened butter over the dough, leaving a 1-inch border along one of the long edges.
3
Combine the brown sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl. Sprinkle the mixture evenly over the buttered dough, keeping the 1-inch border uncovered. Scatter the diced apple over the dough, again keeping the 1-inch border uncovered. Roll the dough into a log starting with the edge closest to you. Roll the dough tightly, making sure to roll evenly and push out any air pockets. When you get to the uncovered edge of the dough, press the dough onto the roll to seal it together.
4
Cut the log of dough into 12 pieces, slicing slowly with a sawing motion so you don’t flatten the dough. Turn the slices on their sides and place in the greased and lined baking pan. Cover with a clean kitchen towel and let the rolls sit in the warmest part of your kitchen for an hour to rise.
5
To make the icing, combine the powdered sugar and milk in a bowl, whisking until smooth. Whisk in the maple syrup to taste. Set aside.

6
Pre-heat the oven to 375ºF. Transfer the baking pan to the oven and bake the rolls for 25 to ⏱️ 30 minutes, or until lightly browned. Cover with foil if the rolls start to get too brown.
7
Let the rolls cool for a couple of minutes before icing. Spread large dollops of the icing on top of the warm cinnamon rolls, allowing some of the icing to drip down the side of the rolls. Serve warm and enjoy!
