  4. 4. Roll out the dough and spread softened butter over it. Sprinkle with a mixture of brown sugar and cinnamon before layering the apple filling and pecans.
  5. 5. Roll tightly into a log, slice into pieces, and let them rise again for about 30 minutes before baking at 350°F (175°C) for 25-30 minutes until golden brown.
  6. 6. For the frosting, beat together cream cheese and butter with powdered sugar; add heavy whipping cream as needed for consistency.
