APPLE BUTTER STICKY BUNS WITH PECANS AND CURRANTS



Apple Butter Sticky Buns With Pecans and Currants image

These sticky buns are so pillowy and sweet you may want to fall right into them and take a nap. Caramel-drenched currants and pecans blanket the top. Apple butter gives them a pleasant tang, and maple syrup nudges them toward fall. To bake these in the morning with a bit less hassle, make this recipe through Step 5 the night before, cover the buns with plastic wrap and refrigerate. About 2 hours before you plan to eat, remove them from the fridge. Let them stand in a warm place until doubled, then bake as directed.

Categories     breads, pastries, dessert

Time 1h

Yield 8 large buns

Number Of Ingredients 16

6 tablespoons/85 grams unsalted butter, at room temperature, plus more for greasing bowl
2/3 cup/160 milliliters whole milk, heated to 110 degrees
3 tablespoons plus 1 teaspoon granulated sugar
1 3/4 teaspoons active dry yeast
2 1/2 cups/320 grams all-purpose flour, plus more as needed
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1 large egg, lightly beaten
6 tablespoons/85 grams unsalted butter, cut into pieces, plus more for greasing the pan
1/4 cup/55 grams packed dark brown sugar
1/4 cup/60 milliliters maple syrup
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1 cup/100 grams pecans, coarsely chopped
1/3 cup/45 grams currants or raisins
1/4 cup/55 grams packed dark brown sugar
2 tablespoons ground cinnamon
1/2 cup/120 milliliters apple butter

Steps:

  • Lightly grease a large bowl and set it aside. In a small bowl, mix together the milk, 1 teaspoon of the sugar, and the yeast, and set aside until foamy, about 5 minutes.
  • In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the dough hook, combine flour, salt and remaining 3 tablespoons of sugar. Add the milk mixture and egg, and mix the dough on low until almost combined, about 3 minutes. (You may need to help it along with a spatula at first.) Add the 6 tablespoons of butter all at once, and continue to knead until the dough is smooth and elastic, another 3 to 4 minutes. If the dough is very sticky, add up to 1 tablespoon more flour. It should still be very moist but the bottom of the bowl should be mostly clean. Transfer dough to the prepared bowl and cover with plastic wrap. Let it stand until it has doubled in size, about 1 hour.
  • Meanwhile, prepare the topping: Butter a 9-by-2-inch round cake pan. In a small saucepan, combine the butter, brown sugar, maple syrup and salt. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the mixture reaches a full boil and looks foamy with large bubbles. Pour the caramel into the prepared cake pan. Sprinkle with the pecans and currants.
  • Make the filling: In a small bowl, combine the dark brown sugar and cinnamon.
  • When the dough has doubled, tip it out onto a very lightly floured surface. Knead it once or twice to expel the air, and then roll it with a lightly floured rolling pin into a 10-inch square. Spread the apple butter evenly over the surface and sprinkle with the sugar-cinnamon mixture. Tightly roll the dough, and pinch the top seam closed. With a serrated knife or using a piece of floss, cut the roll crosswise into 8 pieces. Set them in the prepared pan, spirals facing upward.
  • Cover loosely with plastic wrap, and let the rolls rest until the dough has almost doubled again, about 30 minutes.
  • Heat the oven to 375 degrees. Uncover the rolls and bake until deep golden brown and set, 28 to 32 minutes. Let cool on a rack for 5 minutes and then carefully cut around the edge with a paring knife and invert the rolls onto a serving plate.

History

Sticky buns have been around for centuries and variations of the recipe can be found in many different cultures. The addition of apples to the recipe is a relatively recent innovation, and the exact origin of the apple sticky bun is unknown. However, it is believed to have originated in North America, where apples are a popular fruit.

Ingredients

To make apple sticky buns, you will need the following ingredients:
  • 1 package of active dry yeast
  • 1/4 cup warm water
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 1/4 cup butter or margarine, softened
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup milk, scalded and cooled
  • 2-2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 egg
  • 1/2 cup chopped, peeled tart apples
  • 1/2 cup chopped walnuts or pecans
  • 1/4 cup melted butter or margarine
  • 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream

Preparation

To prepare apple sticky buns, follow these simple steps:
Step 1: Proof the yeast
In a small bowl, dissolve the yeast in warm water and let it sit for about 5 minutes until it is frothy.
Step 2: Mix the dough
In a mixing bowl, cream together the sugar, butter or margarine, and salt until light and fluffy. Add the milk and 1 cup of the flour and beat until smooth. Add the yeast mixture and beat until well combined. Add the egg and mix well. Gradually stir in enough of the remaining flour to form a soft dough.
Step 3: Knead the dough
Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead for about 5 minutes until it is smooth and elastic. Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a damp towel, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until it has doubled in size.
Step 4: Prepare the filling
While the dough is rising, prepare the filling. In a small bowl, combine the chopped apples and nuts.
Step 5: Roll out the dough and add the filling
Punch down the dough and roll it out into a rectangle. Brush the melted butter or margarine over the dough and sprinkle with the brown sugar. Sprinkle the apple and nut mixture over the sugar.
Step 6: Roll up the dough and cut into buns
Starting with the long side, roll up the dough jelly-roll style. Pinch the seams to seal. Cut the dough into 12 equal slices.
Step 7: Add the caramel sauce
In a small saucepan, combine the heavy cream and brown sugar. Cook over medium heat until the mixture comes to a boil, stirring constantly. Remove from heat.
Step 8: Bake the buns
Pour the caramel sauce into a greased 9-inch square baking pan. Arrange the sliced buns in the pan. Cover with a damp towel and let rise in a warm place for about 30 minutes. Preheat the oven to 375°F. Bake the buns for about 25 minutes or until they are golden brown.
Step 9: Serve
Serve the apple sticky buns warm, drizzled with any remaining caramel sauce.

Variations

There are many variations of apple sticky bun recipes that you can try. Some recipes use different types of nuts, such as pecans or almonds. Others add spices, such as cinnamon, nutmeg, or ginger, to the filling. You can also experiment with different types of apples, such as Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, or Pink Lady, to find the flavor that you like best.

Conclusion

Apple sticky buns are a delightful addition to any breakfast or brunch spread, and they also make a great dessert. This recipe is easy to follow and produces delicious results that are sure to please. Give it a try and enjoy the sweet, sticky goodness of caramel and baked apples.

Apple sticky buns are a delicious dessert that is perfect for any occasion. They are made with fluffy, light dough that is filled with a sweet, tangy apple filling, and topped with a sticky, caramel glaze. These buns are perfect for impressing your friends and family, and are sure to be a hit at your next gathering. Here are some valuable tips to keep in mind when making apple sticky buns.

Tip 1: Use Fresh Apples

The key to a delicious apple filling is using fresh apples. Choose apples that are firm, crispy, and have a sweet and tart flavor such as Honeycrisp, Braeburn, or Granny Smith apples. Avoid using apples that are mushy or have a mealy texture as they may not hold up well during the baking process. Fresh apples will give your buns a burst of flavor and a nice texture that cannot be matched by canned or pre-made fillings.

Tip 2: Add Some Spices

Adding spices to your apple filling is a great way to add some extra flavor and depth to your sticky buns. Cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves are classic spices that pair well with apples. You can also add some cardamom, ginger, or allspice for a more unique flavor profile. Spices can enhance the taste of the apple filling and make it a standout feature of your buns.

Tip 3: Mix Your Dough Properly

The dough is the backbone of your apple sticky buns. A well-mixed and well-kneaded dough will result in fluffy and light buns. Make sure to mix your dough properly and knead it until it is smooth and elastic. Over-mixing or under-kneading can result in tough and dense buns. Follow your recipe instructions carefully, and pay attention to your dough's texture as you mix it. A well-mixed dough will rise properly and result in perfect buns.

Tip 4: Use the Right Temperature

Proper temperature control is essential when making apple sticky buns. If your dough is too cold, it will not rise properly, and if it is too warm, it will rise too quickly and result in dense buns. Make sure to follow your recipe instructions carefully, and keep an eye on your dough as it rises. The ideal temperature for rising dough is around 70-75°F (21-24°C). If your kitchen is too cold or too warm, you can adjust the temperature by placing your dough in a slightly warmer or cooler spot. Remember, patience is key when working with dough, so be sure to give it the time it needs to rise properly.

Tip 5: Use Parchment Paper

Using parchment paper is a great way to prevent your buns from sticking to the baking pan. Place a sheet of parchment paper on your baking pan before adding your buns. This will prevent them from sticking and make it easier to remove them from the pan once they are baked. If you don't have parchment paper, you can also use a non-stick cooking spray or butter to grease your pan, but be careful not to use too much as this can cause your buns to become greasy and heavy.

Tip 6: Let Your Buns Cool

Once your apple sticky buns are baked, it can be tempting to dig in right away. However, it's important to let your buns cool for a few minutes before serving. This will allow the caramel glaze to set and prevent the filling from spilling out. If you cut into your buns too soon, the filling may still be hot and runny, and this can make a mess. Letting your buns cool for a few minutes will ensure that you can enjoy them without any sticky mishaps.

Tip 7: Experiment with Toppings

While a caramel glaze is the classic topping for apple sticky buns, there are many other toppings that you can use to add some extra flavor and texture. You can try adding a sprinkling of chopped nuts such as pecans or walnuts. You can also add some shredded coconut or diced dried fruit for a unique twist. Don't be afraid to experiment with different toppings and create your own signature apple sticky buns.

Conclusion

Making apple sticky buns is easy and fun, and following these tips will help you to create delicious and impressive buns that are sure to be a hit. Remember to use fresh apples, add some spices, mix your dough properly, use the right temperature, use parchment paper, let your buns cool, and experiment with toppings. With these tips in mind, you'll be well on your way to making the perfect apple sticky buns, and impressing your friends and family with your baking skills.
