Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
• Roll 1 can of crescent rolls out on a cutting board. Make one single piece of dough by rolling the dough with a rolling pin to a 9x13-inch rectangle; make sure the seams don't separate. Repeat with remaining can of crescent rolls. Set 1 dough sheet atop the other to make a double crust.
• Mix 1/2 cup white sugar, brown sugar, cinnamon, crushed walnuts, and diced apples in a bowl. Sprinkle evenly over the dough.
• Roll the dough lengthwise, so you end up with a long tube. Cut into 1-inch slices. Place the rolls into prepared dish facing up.
• Melt butter with 1 1/2 cup white sugar in a saucepan over medium-high heat. Cook and stir until sugar dissolves completely, about 5 minutes. Remove saucepan from heat and whisk citrus-flavored soda into the butter mixture; pour over cinnamon rolls.
• Bake in preheated oven until golden brown and no longer doughy in the middle, about 30 minutes. Set aside to cool slightly, 5 to 10 minutes. Flip the rolls out of the baking dish onto baking sheet and allow the sticky sauce to drip over the rolls.

Steps:

• Heat milk to about 95°F (35°C)- use microwave or stovetop. Pour the warm milk into the bowl of a stand electric mixer fitted with the dough hook attachment (OR you can use a handheld mixer OR no mixer, but a stand mixer is ideal). With a whisk, manually whisk in the sugar and yeast. Cover with a towel and let sit until the yeast is foamy, about 5-10 minutes. If the yeast does not dissolve and foam, start over with fresh active yeast. On low speed, beat in the softened butter until it is slightly broken up. Next add the eggs, one at a time, and then the salt. The butter won't really be mixing into the mixture, so don't be alarmed if it stays in pieces. On low speed, gradually add the flour. Once it is all added, beat on medium speed until a soft dough forms. Increase speed to medium-high and beat until the dough is soft and supple, about 6 minutes longer. *If you do not have a stand-mixer with a hook attachment, knead the dough by hand in this step.
• Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and knead it with your hands for 1 minute. Form the dough into a ball and transfer it to a lightly greased bowl. Cover the dough loosely with plastic wrap, a paper towel, or aluminum foil and let sit in a warm place until doubled in size, about 1 to 2 hours. Here's what I do: turn the oven on to 200°F (93°C). Once heated to that temperature, turn the oven off. Stick the covered dough inside the oven and allow it to rise in this warm environment.
• Grease the bottom and sides of a 9×13 inch baking dish. Turn the risen dough out onto a lightly floured work surface, punch it down and, using a rolling pin, roll into a 12×18 inch rectangle. Make sure the dough is smooth and evenly thick.
• Spread the softened butter all over the dough. In a small bowl, toss the brown sugar and cinnamon together until combined and then sprinkle evenly over the dough. Top evenly with chopped apples. Tightly roll up the dough to form an 18-inch-long log. Cut into 12 equal rolls. Arrange them in the prepared baking pan. Cover the rolls very tightly with aluminum foil.
• Allow rolls to rise in a warm environment again for about 45-60 minutes or until doubled in size.
• Preheat the oven to 375°F (191°C). Bake rolls for about 25 minutes until they are golden brown. About halfway through the bake time, I like to cover the rolls loosely with aluminum foil so the tops don't brown too much. Remove pan from the oven and allow to cool on a wire rack for 5 minutes.
• Whisk all of the icing ingredients together and drizzle over warm rolls. Serve warm. Cover leftover frosted or unfrosted rolls tightly and store for up to 3 days at room temperature or up to 5 days in the refrigerator.

APPLE CINNAMON ROLLS

Steps:

• Warm milk to between 105º to 110ºF. Sprinkle yeast on top and let it proof for 5 - 10 minutes. Yeast should foam up. If it doesn't start over with fresh yeast.
• In the bowl of your stand mixer whisk together the eggs and salt. Add the yeast mixture, melted butter, sugar, and 4 cups of flour.
• With the dough hook attachment, mix on low to combine, stopping to scrape the sides at least twice. About 3 minutes.
• The dough should be soft and wet. Add the remaining flour 1/4 cup or less at a time, mixing each addition until combined completely. You may not need it all, you'll know it's enough when the dough no longer sticks to the bowl.
• When the dough is shaggy and no longer sticking to the bowl, knead the dough with the mixer or by hand.
• To knead with the mixer: run the mixer on the lowest setting for 5 - 7 minutes, stopping at least twice to push the dough back down and off the dough hook. To knead by hand: turn the dough out onto a clean, well floured work surface. Knead for 10 - 15 minutes. The dough should be smooth, not sticky, and bounce back to the touch.
• Shape the dough into a ball and place it into a large oiled bowl. Turn the dough over to coat with oil, then cover with a clean kitchen towel and allow to rise 1 - 2 hours or until doubled in size.
• While the dough is proofing, prepare the filling.
• On a well floured surface, use a rolling pin to shape the dough into a large rectangle. Approximately 18" x 12" and 1/4" thick.
• Spread the softened butter on the dough. In a small bowl combine the brown sugar and spices, then sprinkle on top of the butter. Follow with the diced apple chunks.
• Starting with the long side of the rectangle, gently roll the dough towards you so that you have a roughly 18" long log.
• Place the seam side of the roll down and trim any uneven ends. Slice the log into 12 equal pieces by slicing the roll in half, then half again, then dividing the quarters into thirds.
• Place each roll on it's end in a buttered 9" x 13" pan. Keep the smaller rolls towards the center to prevent burning.
• Cover with a clean kitchen towel, place in a warm spot, and allow to rise for 30 - 90 minutes or until the rolls have doubled in size.
• Bake uncovered in a 350 degree oven for 25 - 30 minutes or until the tops are golden brown.
• In a stand mixer with the whisk attachment, whip the softened cream cheese and butter until light and fluffy.
• Add the powdered sugar 1/2 cup at a time, mixing to combine completely and scraping down the sides of the bowl between additions.
• After the last addition, with the mixer running add the vanilla bean paste (or equal parts vanilla extract) and combine completely.

APPLE RAISIN CINNAMON ROLLS

Steps:

• In your stand mixer bowl, add the yeast, 1 tsp of sugar, and lukewarm water. Let stand for a few minutes.
• When the yeast has foamed up, add the room temperature/lukewarm milk, oil, salt, ground cinnamon, sugar and 1 cup of flour. Mix with a spoon to combine.
• Put stand mixer bowl in place, add 2 more cups of flour and using the dough hook, allow the mixer to knead.
• If the dough is sticky, add flour 1/2 cup at a time.
• Let mixer knead dough for about 4 minutes and until it is no longer sticky.
• Remove dough from mixer bowl and oil the inside lightly. Place dough back in bowl, cover with a towel and let it sit in a warm spot until it has doubled in size, about 1 hour.
• After the hour has passed, punch the dough down and let it sit for a few minutes while you prepare the pan and filling.
• Line an 9" x 13" pan with parchment paper. Allow an overhang on each side so they can be easily removed from the pan when done.
• Slice apples into 3/4" pieces (see images above to get an idea of how they should look).

• Brush melted coconut oil over the entire surface.
• Sprinkle brown sugar/cinnamon mixture onto dough.
• Sprinkle raisins and then apples onto the dough.
• From the long side, firmly roll the dough. Roll slowly to ensure it is tight as can be.
• Pinch the entire length of the seam to seal and turn the entire roll seam side down so it's at the bottom.
• Slice off an inch of dough from each end.
• Slice the roll into 12 slices.
• Place each slice into the parchment lined pan. It's OK if they are close together.
• Cover with a towel and place in a warm spot. Let rise for 30 minutes.
• Preheat oven to 375°F.
• After the rolls have rested, bake for about 20 minutes or until they are lightly browned.
