Coffee Can Apple Rolls

Ingredients:
– 1 cup warm milk
– 2 1/4 tsp active dry yeast
– 1/2 cup granulated sugar
– 1/3 cup unsalted butter, melted
– 1 tsp salt
– 2 large eggs
– 4 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
– 2 large apples, peeled, cored, and finely diced
– 1/2 cup brown sugar
– 1 tbsp ground cinnamon
– 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
– 1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened

Instructions:
1. In a large mixing bowl, dissolve the yeast in warm milk. Let it sit for about 5 minutes until frothy.
2. Add sugar, melted butter, salt, eggs, and half of the flour to the bowl. Mix until smooth.
3. Gradually add the remaining flour, 1/2 cup at a time, until a soft dough forms. Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic.
4. Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a clean towel, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.
5. In a separate bowl, combine diced apples, brown sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Mix well and set aside.
6. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
7. Roll out the risen dough into a large rectangle on a floured surface. Spread the softened butter over the dough.
8. Spread the apple mixture evenly over the dough, leaving a small border around the edges.
9. Starting from one long side, tightly roll the dough into a log. Cut the log into 2-inch sections.
10. Arrange the rolls in a greased coffee can or cake pan, placing them close together but not touching.
11. Cover the rolls and let them rise for an additional 30 minutes.
12. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown.
13. Let the rolls cool slightly before serving. Enjoy the warm, comforting flavors of your Coffee Can Apple Rolls with a cup of freshly brewed coffee or tea.
