How to make this giant apple cinnamon roll

The recipe is easy and pretty fun to prepare. It requires only a few ingredients you may already have in your pantry. No need for eggs, yeast or waiting for the dough to double in size. In less than 20 minutes this giant roll can be ready for baking. 

First, you need to prepare the dough. For this, you simply need to whisk together the dry ingredients and then add the wet ingredients. Knead for a few minutes until the dough is smooth and pulls away from the sides of the bowl. Set aside the dough until you prepare the filling. 

For this, mix melted butter with sugar and cinnamon and set aside. Peel and core a large apple or two smaller ones and cut into small cubes. 

Roll the dough into a rectangle. Spread the butter-cinnamon mixture and add the apples. Cut into six equal strips. Roll the first strip, place it on top of the other and continue rolling until all strips are rolled. Press slightly and transfer to baking pan. Bake until golden for about 25 minutes, covering with aluminum foil if browns too fast. 

While baking you can prepare the cinnamon cream cheese icing.
