Instructions
Step‑by‑Step Instructions for Apple Cheesecake Buns
- Roll out your pre-made dough on a floured surface to about ¼ inch thick. Cut the dough into rectangles or circles and set aside.
- In a large bowl, combine the cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Beat until smooth and creamy, then fold in the diced apples, ground cinnamon, and nutmeg.
- Take a generous spoonful of the cheesecake filling and place it in the center of each piece of dough. Fold or roll the dough over, pinching the edges to seal tightly.
- In a medium bowl, mix together the all-purpose flour, brown sugar, and cold, cubed butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Evenly sprinkle the crumble mixture over each filled bun, ensuring a generous coating.
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown.
- Whisk together the powdered sugar and milk in a small bowl to make the sweet glaze.
- Once the buns are out of the oven and cooled, drizzle the glaze generously over each bun.
- Allow the glaze to set before serving the buns warm.
Notes
Ensure the edges of the dough are sealed tightly to prevent filling leaking during baking.
