Cinnamon Roll Dough

Step 1Pour milk into the large bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the dough hook. Sprinkle yeast and granulated sugar over and mix with a wooden spoon until yeast is dissolved. Let sit until foaming, about 10 minutes.
Step 2Add egg, flour, butter, and salt and attach bowl to stand mixer. Beat on low speed until just combined. Increase speed to medium-high and beat until dough starts to pull away from bowl and forms into a ball, 8 to 10 minutes.
Step 3Grease a large bowl with cooking spray. Transfer dough to bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and let rise in a warm place until doubled in size, about 1 hour.

Filling

Step 1In a small bowl, mix brown sugar, butter, cinnamon, allspice, and salt until a paste forms.
Step 2Punch down dough, then turn out onto a lightly floured surface. Divide into 3 pieces (about 220 g. each). Roll each piece to a 15" x 8 1/2" rectangle.
Step 3Using an offset or small spatula, spread filling across rectangles. Sprinkle with apples. Roll up and over filling into 3 long logs. Using a sharp knife, slice each log into 12 pieces.
Step 4Lightly grease a jelly roll pan or quarter sheet pan with cooking spray. Arrange pieces on prepared pan and cover with plastic wrap. Let rise until doubled in size, about 30 minutes more.

Streusel

Step 1Preheat oven to 375°. In a small bowl, whisk flour, brown sugar, granulated sugar, cinnamon, and salt. Pour butter over and mix with a fork or with your hands until crumbles form. Sprinkle streusel over rolls.
Step 2Bake rolls until tops are golden brown and streusel is firm, 25 to 30 minutes.

Glaze

Step 1In the large bowl of stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat confectioners’ sugar, cream cheese, milk, butter, and vanilla until a smooth glaze forms.
Step 2Transfer glaze to a piping bag fitted with a large round tip or a resealable plastic bag with a corner snipped off. Pipe glaze over rolls while warm.
