STEP 1: Begin by making the Apple Butter if it's homemade using my homemade apple butter recipe.

STEP 2: For filling, cook apple butter, butter & flour until smooth & simmering. Remove from heat, allow to cool, then refrigerate until completely cooled.

STEP 3: Make the brioche dough using my brioche dough recipe.

STEP 4: Grease a 9x13 inch pan & roll dough into a 12x16 inch rectangle. Spread filling onto dough & sprinkle sugar & cinnamon on top.

STEP 5: Starting at the long end, tightly roll into a log, freeze for 30 min, then slice into 12 rolls. Place into prepared pan & cover with plastic wrap.

STEP 6: Place rolls in a warm environment for 45 min to allow them to rise. After they doubled in size, bake at 350F for 25 min.

STEP 7: For the frosting, first brown the butter by melting butter on stove until brown speckles of butter form & it begins to smell nutty. Remove from heat & allow to cool.

STEP 8: Cream brown butter, cream cheese & vanilla until pale & fluffy. Add powdered sugar & salt & beat until dissolved. Spread over the warm cinnamon rolls & serve fresh.
