- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 egg
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 2 medium apples, peeled and diced
- 1/2 cup brown sugar

Special equipment needed:
- Large mixing bowl
- Stand mixer with dough hook attachment (optional)
- Rolling pin
- 9x13 inch baking dish

Step-by-step instructions:
1. In a large mixing bowl, dissolve the yeast in warm water and let it sit for 5 minutes until foamy.
2. Add the sugar, milk, melted butter, and egg to the bowl and mix well.
3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour and salt.
4. Gradually add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing until a dough forms.
5. Knead the dough on a floured surface for 5-10 minutes until smooth and elastic. Alternatively, use a stand mixer with a dough hook attachment to knead the dough for 5-7 minutes.
6. Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a damp towel, and let it rise in a warm place for 1 hour.
7. Preheat the oven to 350°F.
8. In a small bowl, mix together the diced apples, brown sugar, and cinnamon.
9. Roll out the dough on a floured surface into a large rectangle.
10. Brush the melted butter over the dough, then sprinkle the apple mixture and chopped walnuts (if using) evenly over the top.
11. Roll up the dough tightly, starting from the long side, and cut it into 1-inch slices.
12. Place the slices in a greased 9x13 inch baking dish, with the spiral side facing up.
13. Brush the remaining melted butter over the top of the rolls.
14. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.
