Using the Apple Haul, Part 7 🍎
Apple Butter Cinnamon Buns
October 10, 2023
Now back to apples! This recipe was the reason I wanted to make apple butter… Cinnamon buns made with apple butter both in the dough and the filling. After a huge mess up with the recipe the day before, day two I was back for the attack. [If you must know the absolutely ridiculous mistake I made on day 1, instead of the 1/2 cup of apple cider, I added a 1/2 cup of apple cider VINEGAR. Hilarious! I learned that vinegar does not allow yeast to rise… and of course tastes terrible.]
First proof
Rolled and ready…
Apple butter spread
They were tough to roll as the apple butter was much looser than the cinnamon spread of a traditional cinnamon roll.
Another rookie move, I shoved them all in a pan that was too small.
The baked result… beautiful!
A quick vanilla glaze
Well worth the two-day effort
These were a huge hit! I can’t wait to make these again.
