  3. Prepare the Apple Filling: Peel and dice the apples, then mix with brown sugar and cinnamon until well-coated.
  4. Roll Out the Dough: Punch down the risen dough, roll into a rectangle about ½ inch thick, spread melted butter on top, and sprinkle the apple filling.
  5. Shape the Rolls: Roll the dough tightly into a log, slice into 2-inch pieces, and arrange in a greased baking dish.
  6. Second Rise: Cover and let rolls rise for 30 minutes while preheating the oven to 350°F.
  7. Bake the Rolls: Bake for 25 minutes until golden brown and a toothpick comes out clean.
