  4. Place dough in a greased bowl, cover, and let rise in a warm spot for about 1 hour or until doubled.
  5. Meanwhile, melt butter in a pan and cook diced apples with sugar, cinnamon, and salt until tender.
  6. Roll out the dough into a rectangle, spread softened butter on top, sprinkle with brown sugar and cinnamon mixture, then evenly distribute the apple filling.
  7. Roll tightly from one edge to another, slice into individual rolls, place in a greased baking dish, cover, and let rise for another 30 minutes.
  8. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) while rolls rise. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown.
