Dough:
Add the yeast, 1 Tbsp of sugar and water to a mixer. Mix a little and then let it sit for 10 minutes. In another bowl whisk the milk, egg and oil. Add this mixture into the mixing bowl. Sprinkle in the salt and the rest of the sugar. Add 1 cup of flour to the bowl. Using a paddle attachment mix on low every 30 seconds. Then add another cup of flour until all is used. Knead for 5 minutes and then place in a lightly greased bowl covered with saran wrap. Let the dough rise for 1 hour.
Lay the dough onto a lightly floured surface. Roll the dough out lengthwise until it reaches about 20 inches in length.
Filling:
Add 1 Tablespoon of butter to a large skillet and melt over medium heat. Add the apples to the skillet and cook for 5 minutes. Remove from pan and pour into a large bowl. Add the sugar and cinnamon to the bowl and stir until apples are well coated. Rub the rest of the butter over the whole dough. Make sure it is well coated. Spread the apple mixture out evenly over the dough leaving 1 inch clear of filling at the top of the dough. Roll the dough up very tightly cutting off the edges. Cut the dough into 2 inch slices and place in a large greased casserole dish. Cover and let the dough rise for another 2 hours.
Bake the cinnamon rolls at 350 degrees for 15-17 minutes. DO NOT OVERBAKE! Allow them to cool.
Icing:
Place both ingredients into a bowl and beat with a handheld mixer. Pour the icing into a ziplock or wilton icing bag. Cut the tip off the bag and lightly coat the rolls with icing.
