In a separate bowl, combine 1/4 cup milk, 1/2 cup plain yogurt, and 3 tbsp melted unsalted butter.

Knead the mixture for a few minutes until smooth.

In another bowl, mix 2 tbsp melted butter, 1/3 cup light brown sugar, and 2 tsp ground cinnamon and set aside.

Peel, core, and cut 1 large apple into small cubes.

Roll the dough into a rectangle measuring 10x14 inches.

Spread the butter and cinnamon mixture over the dough.

Sprinkle the apple cubes evenly over the butter mixture.

Cut the dough into 6 strips.

Roll the first strip and place it on top of the next strip, continuing to roll until all strips are rolled together.

Place the rolled dough into a greased and parchment-lined 8-inch round pan.

Bake at 375°F (190°C) for 25-30 minutes until golden brown.

In a bowl, mix 8 oz cream cheese, 3/4 cup powdered sugar, and 1/2 tsp cinnamon until combined.
