Instructions

  • In a large bowl, combine 2 cups flour, yeast, 1/2 cup sugar, salt, and cinnamon.
  • In a microwave save container combine the milk, water, butter, and cream cheese. Heat to 120 to 130 degrees F. Don't worry if the butter and cream cheese don't melt.
  • Add to the flour mixture along with the egg. Mix well with a wooden spoon.
  • Gradually add the rest of the flour until you have a soft dough. Mix this with your hand. Knead the dough until smooth and slightly sticky to your touch. Cover and let rise for an hour or until double in size.
  • Prepare the filling -
  • In a skillet add the butter, 4 tablespoons of sugar, 1 teaspoon cinnamon, and apples. Cook over medium heat until the apples are softened and caramelized. Set aside.
  • Once the dough is double in size, punch down the dough. Divide the dough into 24 equal parts. Roll each piece of dough and place it on a greased baking sheet. With your hand flatten the ball of dough.
  • Cover and let rise for 1/2 hour. With the tips of your fingers make a well in the middle of each bun.
  • Add a small scoop of caramelized apples.
  • Place the buns in a preheated 375 degree F oven and bake for 12 to 14 minutes or until lightly brownded. Remove from oven and cool completely on a cooling rack.
  • Drizzle with icing.
  • Prepare Icing -
  • Mix together the 3 cups of powdered sugar and cinnamon. Add enough cream to make the right consistency for drizzling over the cooled buns.
