Caramel Apple Buns
A different kind of sticky bun. Apple juice and cinnamon in a one-rise dough, finished with a gooey nutty caramel topping.
Yield 24 buns
Ingredients
- 3 1/4 to 3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, divided
- 1 (0.25oz) package (7g) or 2 1/4 teaspoons Platinum Yeast
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon table salt
- 3/4 cup apple juice
- 1/2 cup water
- 1/4 cup butter
- 1 large egg
Topping:
- 3/4 cup packed brown sugar
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons light corn syrup
- 3/4 cup chopped nuts
Instructions
- In stand mixer bowl, combine 1 1/4 cups flour, yeast, sugar, cinnamon and salt; mix well. In saucepan or microwave-safe dish, heat apple juice, water and butter until warm (120-130°F; butter does not need to melt). Add to flour mixture. Add egg. Using paddle attachment, blend at low speed until moistened; beat 3 minutes at medium speed. Gradually stir in enough of remaining flour to make a stiff batter.
- Prepare topping: In saucepan, combine brown sugar, butter and corn syrup; heat and stir until blended. Add nuts. Spoon topping into greased muffin pan cups. Spoon batter over topping. Cover; let rise in warm place until double, about 45 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 375°F.
- Bake for 15 to 20 minutes until golden brown. Cover pans with foil and invert onto rack. Let sit for one minute; remove pans and place on wire rack to cool.

I don’t have access to Platinum yeast and I use regular?
Hi Barb – Yes, you can use Red Star active dry or Quick-Rise yeast, substitute 1-for-1. Keep an eye on the dough as rise times may vary.
Happy baking!
