Dough Preparation

  • Combine all the dough ingredients in a large bowl and knead until you have a soft, elastic dough. Cover and let rise for about 1 hour.
  • Once risen, divide into 9 portions, shape into balls, and let them rise for another 15 minutes.

Apple Filling

  • Melt butter in a pan, add diced apples, sugar, and cinnamon. Cook until softened. Mix cornstarch with water, add it to the apples, and cook for 2 more minutes.

Cheesecake Filling

  • Mix cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla sugar in a bowl until smooth and creamy.

Assembly

  • Press the center of each dough ball with a glass to create an indentation. Brush edges with egg yolk.
  • Fill with cheesecake filling and apple filling, then sprinkle crumble on top.

Baking

  • Bake in a preheated oven at 180°C (350°F) for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown.
  • After cooling, drizzle glaze over the top and allow it to set before serving.

Notes

These buns combine the tartness of apples with the richness of cheesecake, creating a delightful dessert.
