Warm milk and add to a small bowl. Sprinkle in yeast and a teaspoon of sugar. Set aside for 5-7 minutes to allow the yeast to bloom.
With an electric mixer, mix together butter and sugar. Add eggs. Mix. Add flour, half at a time, mixing well.
If you have a dough hook, use it for the next step.
Pour yeast mixture into flour mixture. Mix until well combined. You can continue to knead with a dough hook, or place on a lightly floured surface and knead by hand for approximately 5 minutes.
In a medium bowl, add a teaspoon of olive oil and put the dough into it to rise. Cover and place in a warm place for 35-45 minutes.
Make the filling by mixing together cinnamon, brown sugar, and nutmeg. Slice apples.
Once the dough has doubled in size, place it on a lightly floured surface. With a rolling pin, roll out to a rectangle, approximately 1/4 inch thick.
Spread softened butter evenly onto dough, leaving edges free of butter. Sprinkle topping mixture evenly onto the butter. Add apple slices.
Carefully roll the dough up. Cut into 1 1/2 inch slices. Place in one or two 9x13 baking dishes, 2-3 inches apart. Cover and set in a warm place again for 30 minutes.
Preheat oven to 35 degrees F. Bake buns 35-40 minutes, until golden brown.
Once slightly cooled, overturn buns onto a baking sheet or dish large enough to hold the buns.
To make the icing, beat cream cheese and icing sugar until smooth. Add vanilla. Add milk, a tablespoon at a time, until desired consistency is reached. Pour onto buns.
Enjoy!
