  • 3 cups sourdough starter
  • 1 pkg dry yeast
  • 3 tablespoons sugar
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons baking powder
  • 3 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 2 ½ - 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 stick butter melted (divided)
  • sugar to taste
  • brown sugar to taste
  • cinnamon to taste

Instructions

Apple Topping

  • Add the apples to a pot with the water and butter. Cook over medium-high heat until it comes to a boil. Reduce to a simmer and stir in the brown sugar and cinnamon and continue to cook until the apples are tender. In a small bowl, mix together the cold water and cornstarch. Add to the apples and bring to a boil. Stir until thickened.

Cinnamon Rolls

  • In a bowl, whisk together the starter, yeast and sugar. Let set a couple minutes. Whisk in the salt, baking powder and oil.
  • Stir in the flour until it is a soft dough, but not sticky to the touch. You may need to adjust the flour amount.
  • Generously flour the surface and knead the dough just slightly to remove any stickiness. Roll out to about ¼-inch thick rectangle. Pour ½ stick of the melted butter and spread on top. Sprinkle with sugar, brown sugar and cinnamon.
  • Starting at the long side, tightly roll up the dough. Cut into about 1-inch thick pieces.
  • Pour the remaining ½ stick of butter in the bottom of a 12-inch Dutch oven or 11x13-inch casserole dish. Evenly place the rolls on the bottom.
  • Pour the apple mixture over top. Cook with coals or in the oven at about 350 degrees for about 30 minutes in the middle rack or until golden brown.
