Instructions

Warm milk until lukewarm. In a small bowl, mix yeast and sugar with warm milk; let sit until frothy.
In a large bowl, combine flour and salt. Add melted butter and yeast mixture; knead for about 5 minutes until smooth.
Place dough in a greased bowl, cover, and let rise in a warm place until doubled in size (about 1 hour).
For the filling, mix brown sugar and cinnamon in a bowl. Peel and chop apples; toss with lemon juice.
Roll out dough into a rectangle. Spread softened butter over it; sprinkle brown sugar-cinnamon mixture and chopped apples evenly.
Roll tightly into a log shape and slice into equal pieces.
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Place rolls in a greased baking pan with space between each; cover and let rise for another 30 minutes.
Bake for 25-30 minutes until golden brown. Drizzle cream cheese icing over warm rolls before serving.
