This recipe does make a lot so you may want to cut it in half.

Nut Roll

Nut Filling Ingredients

1 pound Walnuts Chopped
1 pound Pecans Chopped
2 1/2 cups of sugar
2 sticks of melted butter
2 eggs
1 large apple grated
1 teaspoon of cinnamon

First combine all ingredients together except for the butter. Add the melted butter and mix well.  Heat mixture in a large saucepan until the ingredients blend well and thicken slightly.  Set a side and allow to cool and make the dough mixture.

Dough Ingredients

6 to 6 1/2 cups of sifted flour
3/4 teaspoon salt
6 Tablespoons sugar
2 packages yeast
1/2 cup warm milk
1 cup sour cream
2 sticks butter melted or softened
3 eggs beaten

Dissolve the yeast in the warm milk and add a teaspoon of sugar. Stir and set it aside for a couple of minutes.  Mix the remaining ingredients together then add the yeast mixture.  Blend well.  Divide the dough into 4-6 parts depending on what size you want the rolls.  Roll one part out at a time until it is about 1/4  inch thick. Spread some of the nut mixture over the dough and roll up like a jelly roll.  Continue to do the same thing to each of the dough parts. Cover and let them rise for 1 hour.   ** A good tip about rising bread and dough made with yeast is: to cover the dough and place in your oven to rise.  Make sure your oven is not on.**  After an hour or until the dough has doubled in size, place in a 350 degree oven for 30-40 minutes.

Icing (optional)

2 cups confectioners' sugar
2-3 Tablespoons Milk
1-2 Tablespoons butter

Combine everything together and drizzle over cooked nut rolls.
