Instructions

In a stand mixer bowl, combine warm water, sugar, and yeast; stir well and let it sit for 5-10 minutes until bubbly.
Add melted butter, eggs, salt, and 2 cups flour, mixing on low with a bread hook for 2 minutes until well combined.
Stir in an additional 3½ cups flour on low. Add more flour as needed until the dough pulls away from the bowl. Knead on low for an extra 3 minutes.
Cover the bowl with a towel and let the dough rest in a warm place for about 30 minutes, or until it doubles in size.
Once risen, turn the dough out onto a floured surface and form it into a small rectangle. Roll the dough into a 24" x 12" rectangle, about 1/2" thick.

Notes

You can use a variety of apples for a mix of flavors.
Ensure the dough is adequately floured to avoid sticking while rolling out.
For extra sweetness, drizzle additional caramel on top before serving.
