Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Prepare the Dough: Combine brioche dough ingredients in a large bowl. Knead for about 5-10 minutes until smooth. Cover and let rise for 1-2 hours until doubled in size.

  3. Roll Out Dough: Punch down the dough and roll it into a 12x15-inch rectangle. Spread the apple filling over it and sprinkle with toasted pecans.
  4. Form Rolls: Roll the dough tightly from one edge and cut into 1¼-inch sections.
  5. Second Rise: Place rolls in a greased dish, cover, and let rise for 30-60 minutes.
  6. Bake: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and bake rolls for 25-30 minutes until golden brown.
  7. Frost: Let rolls cool for 10 minutes, then frost with cream cheese frosting.
