Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup sourdough starter
  • 3/4 cups warm water
  • 3/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 cup white sugar
  • 1/4 cup olive oil can use corn vegetable or canola
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour

Apple Butter Filling Ingredients:

  • 1/2 cup of apple butter
  • 1/2 cup of brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon cinnamon

Maple Cream Frosting Ingredients:

  • 4 ounces of full fat cream cheese
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1/4 cup of pure maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 2 teaspoons of heavy whipping cream

Instructions

Dough Instructions:

  • Mix starter, warm water, salt, sugar, oil, and 3 cups flour in a large bowl. Pour out onto floured surface and work with it until you can pick it up and place in an oiled bowl. Turn the dough once so that it is oiled on both sides, cover and let rise overnight. (I cover it with a clean dishtowel).
  • The next morning, punch down the dough, take out and put on floured surface and roll out to about 1/2 inch thick rectangle. Spread apple butter over the dough. Next sprinkle brown sugar and cinnamon over the apple butter. Roll the dough up into a long roll and cut into slices. Place in round cake/pie pan or cast iron skillet (I cover them with a dish towel) and let rise until doubled in size.
  • Once rolls have doubled in size, bake on 350 for 30-40 minutes or until brown on top. Let cool for about 10 minutes and frost.

Frosting Instructions:

  • Beat together cream cheese and powdered sugar. Add in syrup, vanilla and cream. Continue mixing until frosting is smooth and of spreading consistency.
