Ingredients
5
to 5-1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2
cup sugar
2
envelopes FLEISCHMANN'S® RapidRise™ Yeast
1
teaspoon salt
1/2
cup water
1/2
cup milk
1/4
cup butter or margarine
3
large eggs
Apple Filling (recipe follows)
Cinnamon-Sugar Topping (recipe follows)
In large bowl, combine 1 cup flour, sugar, undissolved yeast, and salt. Heat water, milk, and butter until very warm (120° to 130°F). Gradually add to dry ingredients. Beat 2 minutes at medium speed of electric mixer, scraping bowl occasionally. Add eggs and 1 cup flour; beat 2 minutes at high speed, scraping bowl occasionally. Stir in enough remaining flour to make soft dough. Knead on lightly floured surface until smooth and elastic, about 8 to 10 minutes. Cover; let rest 10 minutes.
Divide dough into 2 equal portions. Roll each portion into 12×8-inch rectangle. Spread Apple Filling evenly over dough. Beginning at long end of each, roll up tightly jelly-roll style. Pinch seams to seal. Cut each roll into 12 equal pieces. Place, cut sides up, in greased 9-inch round pans. Cover, let rise in warm, draft-free place until doubled in size, about 45 minutes. Sprinkle with Cinnamon-Sugar Topping.
Bake at 375°F for 25 to 30 minutes or until done. Remove from pans; serve warm.
