    Knead the Dough: Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 5-7 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic. Place it in a greased bowl, cover with a cloth, and let it rise in a warm spot for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.

        Roll the Dough: Once the dough has risen, punch it down and roll it into a rectangle about 1/4 inch thick. Spread the apple filling evenly across the surface of the dough.

          Form the Rolls: Starting from one long edge, roll the dough tightly into a log. Slice the log into 8 equal pieces and place them in a greased baking dish.

            Second Rise: Cover the rolls and let them rise again for about 30 minutes until puffed.

              Bake the Rolls: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown.

                Prepare the Glaze: While the rolls are baking, whisk together the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract in a bowl until smooth. Adjust with more milk or sugar for desired consistency.

                  Drizzle and Serve: Once the rolls have cooled slightly, drizzle the glaze over the top. Serve warm.
