Apple buns with cinnamon crumble.

Happy Thursday!  
 
Today is one of my days off and I've been planning this recepie for a while now... Soft and yummy buns with apple bits inside. 
 
Makes 14-16 buns. 
 
Dough: 
  • 100 g of unsalted butter
  • 300 ml of milk 
  • 50 g of yeast, or 13 g of dry yeast (I used dry yeast for this recepie since fresh is hard to find in the stores here) 
  • 1/2 teaspoon of salt 
  • 100 g of sugar 
  • 1 egg 
  • 900-1000 ml of flour (sorry, swedish measurements..) 
Heat the milk and the butter gently until the butter is completely melted, be careful not to heat more than 40°C. Add the yeast and dissolve it in the liquide. Add in the salt, sugar and the egg. Then add the flour progressively until you have a smooth dough that dosen't stick. Cover the bowl with a towl or plastic film and let it rise for 40-45 minutes. 
 
Tip! Place the bowl on a rack in the oven and place a bowl of boiling water underneath, to create a warm, draft-free and humid enviroment for your dough to rise. 
 
Once risen, place the dough on a floured tabletop and flat it out with your hands, no need to knead it. Weigh small pieces of dough, 60 g each, and roll them into balls. 
 
 
For the filling you will need about 1 and 1/2 apples, I used Pink Lady. Cut the apple in to cubes, bigger ones for more crunch, or smaller ones for an apple that is more cooked - do as you please! 
 
Flatten the dough balls and place two pieces of apple in the middle (or if small cubed a tablespoon), fold the dough over to cover the apple and then flip- the joint facing downward- and roll into a ballshape. Place it on a baking sheet in a baking tray and reapeat. 
 
 
Cover the buns with a baking towel or plastic film and let rise for another 30 minutes. 
 
 
In the meantime prepare the crumble
  • 26 g of unsalted butter
  • 26 g of brown suger
  • 26 g of almond flour
  • 26 g of flour 
  • 3 g of cinnamon 
Pinch all of the ingredients together, forming a compact mass. 
 
A shoutout to this ecological whole brown suger, it just smelled amazing, as well as the texture. Baker's heaven. 
 
Preheat the oven to 250°C. 
 
Brush the buns with a mix of milk and some cinnamon and then crumble over the crumble (haha). 
 
 
Cook for 8-10 minutes - be careful not to burn the crumble! 
 
 
Let your buns cool down on a rack, then enjoy! Perfect with a glass of milk...! 
 
I do hope you enjoy this recepie - I loved making it! 
 
Bisous!
