INSTRUCTIONS
PREPARE THE DOUGH
Add all of the dough ingredients to your bread maker and select the dough setting. Allow the machine to complete the full cycle, approximately 1 hour and 40 minutes.
MAKE THE FILLING
While the dough is rising, combine the brown sugar, ground cinnamon, and pumpkin pie spice in a small bowl. Set aside.
ASSEMBLE THE ROLLS
Once the dough has finished, transfer it to a lightly floured surface and roll it into a large rectangle.
Spread the softened salted butter evenly over the dough, then sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar mixture over the entire surface.
Starting with one of the long sides, roll the dough tightly into a log. Slice into 12 even rolls, about 1½ inches thick.
Arrange the rolls in a greased glass baking dish.
Pour the heavy cream evenly around the rolls in the pan.
BAKE
Bake at 350°F for 20–25 minutes, or until the rolls are golden brown and cooked through.
MAKE THE ICING
While the cinnamon rolls are baking, combine the softened salted butter, softened cream cheese, vanilla extract, pumpkin pie spice, and powdered sugar in a bowl.
Blend until smooth and creamy.
FINISH
Spread the cream cheese icing over the warm cinnamon rolls and serve.
