Instructions

Activate the yeast by mixing it with warm milk and sugar; let sit until bubbly.
Whisk in remaining milk, eggs, and melted butter. Combine flour and salt in a bowl, then add the yeast mixture and knead until smooth.
Allow dough to rise in a greased bowl until doubled in size (45–60 minutes).
Roll out the dough into a rectangle, spread apple butter over it, then sprinkle sugars and cinnamon.
Roll up tightly, slice into rounds, and place in a greased baking pan to rise again (20–30 minutes).
Preheat oven to 350°F and bake for 18–25 minutes until golden brown.
While warm, spread with frosting made from cream cheese, powdered sugar, maple syrup, and cinnamon.
