Ingredients

Rolls

  • 3 to 3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 pkg. active dry yeast
  • 1/2 cup applesauce
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1/4 cup butter
  • 1 egg

Caramel Topping

  • 1/2 cup firmly packed brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup applesauce
  • 3 tablespoons butter, melted

Filling

  • 2 tablespoons butter, softened
  • 1/3 cup sugar
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon

Instructions

  • Step 
    1
    Lightly spoon flour into measuring cup; level off. In large bowl, combine 1 cup flour, 1/4 cup sugar, salt and yeast; mix well.
  • Step 
    2
    In small saucepan, combine 1/2 cup applesauce, milk and 1/4 cup butter; cook over medium heat until very warm (120 to 130°F.), stirring constantly. Add warm mixture and egg to flour mixture; blend at low speed until moistened. Beat 2 minutes at medium speed. By hand, stir in 1 1/2 to 1 3/4 cups flour until dough pulls cleanly away from sides of bowl.
  • Step 
    3
    On floured surface, knead in an additional 1/2 to 3/4 cup flour until dough is smooth and elastic, about 5 minutes. Place dough in greased bowl; cover loosely with greased plastic wrap and cloth towel. Let rise in warm place (80 to 85°F.) until light and doubled in size, 45 to 60 minutes.
  • Step 
    4
    Grease 13x9-inch pan. Combine topping ingredients in pan; mix well. Spread evenly in pan.
  • Step 
    5
    On lightly floured surface, roll dough to 15x12-inch rectangle. Spread dough with 2 tablespoons butter. In small bowl, combine 1/3 cup sugar and cinnamon; mix well. Sprinkle over butter.
  • Step 
    6
    Starting with 15-inch side, roll up tightly, pinching edges to seal. Cut roll into 12 slices; place cut side down over topping in pan. Cover; refrigerate at least 8 hours or overnight.
  • Step 
    7
    When ready to bake, let rolls stand at room temperature for 30 minutes. Heat oven to 400°F. Uncover rolls; bake 20 to 25 minutes or until golden brown. Cool in pan 1 minute; invert onto serving platter or tray. Scrape any remaining topping onto rolls. Serve warm.
