Step 1

Knead all ingredients for the dough for about 5 minutes with your kitchen machine (or with your hands, a little longer) until you have a smooth dough.

Step 2

Cover and let the dough rise for about 1 hour. Then roll out a relatively even rectangle at least 5 mm (1/4 inch) thick (please read my tips above the recipe!).

Step 3

Mix the cinnamon with the sugar and peel the apples before you cut them into small (approx. 5x5 mm) pieces.

Step 4

Now, spread the oil onto the dough and sprinkle the sugar-cinnamon mixture and the apple cubes all over. Leave approx. 2 cm free on the long upper side.

Step 5

Then roll the dough up, but not too loosely (away from you towards the upper long side), and cut into slices approx. 2 to 3 cm wide. Now, these are the single rolls. Depending on the size of the rectangle and slice, you will have +/- 12 pieces.

Step 6

Place the apple and cinnamon rolls on a baking sheet lined with baking paper, cover with a tea towel and let rise for another 30 to 60 minutes. At least until you can see that the dough has risen nicely again.

Step 7

In the meantime, preheat the oven to 160 degrees (320 F) circulating air or 180 degrees (360 F) top and bottom heat. Bake the rolls on the middle rack for about 20 minutes, until they start to turn slightly brown.

Step 8

Switch off the oven, open the door and let the rolls cool down.

Step 9

Now the frosting can be prepared. Simply mix the icing sugar with the lemon juice and spread it over the rolls with a spoon. Let the icing cool down again briefly.
