| 7 cups (875 g) | flour, divided |
| 2 pkg (0.25 oz / 7 g each) | quick rise yeast |
| 3/4 cup (170 g) | butter, melted (for coating) |
| 1 cup (200 g) | brown sugar |
| 1 cup (200 g) | granulated sugar (for coating) |
| 1/4 cup (28 g) | cinnamon |

Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, mix the yeast with the warmed milk. Add the eggs, sugar and salt, then mix in the melted butter and 3 cups of the flour. Add the remaining flour until just combined, trying not to over mix. Turn the dough out into a greased bowl, cover and let rise until doubled in size.
- Line large muffin cups with liners or parchment paper. Put the melted butter in one bowl, and combine the brown sugar, granulated sugar and cinnamon in a separate bowl. Pinch off 2 Tbsp sized pieces of dough and roll into balls. Drop each ball into the melted butter, then into the cinnamon sugar mixture, and place in the bottom of a muffin cup. Repeat until you have 3 balls in the bottom of each cup.
- In a small bowl, mix the raisins with the apples. Place a tablespoon of filling onto the dough balls. Add 4 more dough balls to the top of each muffin and sprinkle each with 1 Tbsp of the raisin/apple filling. When all the muffins are ready, bake in a 175°C (350°F) oven for about 25 minutes.
- Remove and allow to cool. In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar and milk. Drizzle over the muffins and enjoy!
