Apple Buns
Difficulty Level: Easy
Preparation Time: 30 minutes
Cooking Time: 1 hour
Servings: 12 buns
We had a hard time deciding which section to place this recipe in. It sounds like a twist off the old cinnamon bun, and should be placed next to cakes; but my friend insists on serving it as a side. Besides, who has enough discipline to wait until dessert to taste these?

Ingredients

DOUGH:
2 cups all-purpose flour (add more if necessary)
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup (1 stick) margarine
2⁄3 cup water



APPLE FILLING:
4 apples, shredded
1/4 cup sugar
1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract



SYRUP:
1 cup water
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) margarine
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Directions

For dough:



Combine all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, margarine and water in a large bowl.



Mix well. Add additional flour gradually if dough is too moist and hard to work with.



To make the filling, combine shredded apples, sugar and vanilla extract in a small bowl. Set aside.



To assemble and bake:



Roll dough into a 11x17-inch rectangle. Spread the apple mixture evenly over the dough. Roll the dough, from the long end, jelly roll style. Slice the roll into 1-inch slices. Place the apple buns close together into two 9 inch round glass baking dishes.


 


Prepare the syrup. Combine water, sugar, brown sugar, margarine and cinnamon in a small pot. Stir over low heat until all ingredients are melted. Pour syrup over apple buns.


 


Preheat oven to 350° F. Bake 1 hour. Serve warm.

I made these for rosh hashanah and they were delish! def a dessert item IMHO. when i was making them the syrup looked like alot to pour on top but i decided to follow the recipe and went ahead and poured it all on, it almost covered the buns entirely. Have no fear- they soak it all up and it was PERFECT!! yum:) 5 stars!
