Intro: Apple & Caramel Buns

A soft brioche, a delicious filling with candied apples and a little caramel on top. It’s just happiness in the mouth. For kneading use the hook of the food processor. If you don’t have one you can knead by hand, it will just be longer and more tiring, but then consider it as a workout!

STEP 1:

FOR THE APPLE FILLING


Peel the apples and cut them into small cubes.

STEP 2:

Cook the apples with the butter, sugar and water for 10 minutes until cooked. Set aside.

STEP 3:

FOR THE CINNAMON BUTTER


Mix the softened butter with the sugar, cinnamon and salt. Set aside


STEP 4:

TO FINALIZE
  • Line a baking dish with parchment paper, or grease it.
  • On a floured surface, spread the dough in 1 rectangle.

STEP 5:

Spread the butter/cinnamon over the entire surface.

STEP 6:

Spread the apples cubes onto the dough

STEP 7:

Starting from the longest side, roll the dough.

Cut 12 pieces of identical size (this is where the filling can escape).

STEP 8:

Place the rolls in the baking dish, face upwards, leaving a space between them (as they will rise).

STEP 9:

Cover with a clean cloth and let them rest for 1 to 1.5 hours. The buns will rise.

STEP 10:

PREHEAT THE OVEN TO 200°C (400°F).

Bake the buns for 35 to 40 minutes.

FOR THE CARAMEL (OPTIONAL)
  • Make a dry caramel. Heat a saucepan. Add the sugar 3 times, waiting for the previous portion to melt and caramelize. Be careful not to burn your caramel.
  • Add the warm cream in small fractions, while mixing. Beware of splashes!
  • Then add the cold butter. Mix until it is melted. Finish by mixing with the hand blender. Reserve at room temperature.
  • Pour caramel on top of the buns once they are cooked.
