Very yummy, cake-like buns that are great for a summer's day picnic. The apples really make them moist and fruity. With some spices I could imagine them to be nice in winter time, too.
Ingredients:
125 ml milk, plus
2 tablespoons milk, for coating
100 g soft butter
250 g flour
10 g active dry yeast
80 g sugar, plus
2 tablespoons sugar, for sprinkling
500 g apples (preferrably sour in taste-e.g.elstar)
1 pinch cinnamon
Directions:
1. For the yeast dough heat the milk in a small saucepan at low heat. Add 70 g of butter.
2. Combine flour, dry active yeast and 30 g sugar in a bowl and mix using a whisk. Add the lukewarm butter-milk-mixture. Using the dough hooks knead into a smooth dough (first on low power than on highest power). Takes approximately 5 minutes.
3. Cover and set aside for 40 mins to allow the dough to rise.
4. For the filling peel the apples and cut into pieces of 1/2 cm.
5. Melt 30 g butter in a saucepan. Add apples, 50 g sugar and cinnamon. Bring to a boil, cover and simmer for approximately 5 mins on low heat. Allow to cool.
6. Sprinkle the dough and your working surface with flour. Knead dough again and roll out into a rectangel of approximately 32 by 40 cm. Spread with the apple-mixture (if your apples are very moist, hold back any excess liquid). Be careful to leave a rim of 2 cm on the shorter sides.
7. Roll up the dough starting at the shorter side.
8. Slice the roll into 8 slices. Place them onto a lined baking sheet. Cover, place in warm surroundings and allow to rise for 15 minutes.
9. Spread the swirls with milk, sprinkle with sugar and bake in the preheated oven at 200 °C for 25 minutes.
