Add the chopped apples on a single layer.
Roll the dough into a log, starting from the short side.
Cut into 9 apple cinnamon rolls with a sharp serrated knife.
SECOND PROOFING AND BAKING
Transfer the rolls onto a well-buttered baking pan.We use an 11x11-inch (30x30 cm) baking pan.

Preheat oven to 350°F or 180°C, brush the rolls with some milk, then when the oven is hot bake them for 20 to 25 minutes.
Take the rolls out of the oven, let them cool down for 15 minutes, then drizzle with icing or smear with frosting.
For the icing, whisk together ¾ cup powdered sugar, 1½ tablespoons milk, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract in a small bowl.
