Remove the dough from the fridge, let sit 1 hour, then move it to a lightly floured flat surface and punch down, roll out to a 16x10 inches (40x26cm) rectangle, spread with the caramel apple mixture, leaving a ½ inch (1 cm) boarder around the rectangle. Roll up lengthwise and cut into 10 1 inch (2½ cm) slices, place them cut side up in a lightly greased and floured 8 inch cake pan. Cover and place in a warm draft free area, let rise for 1 hour or until doubled.
