Dough Preparation
- In a large bowl, mix together the flour, yeast, sugar, and salt. Warm the milk and add butter to melt. Pour into dry ingredients along with the beaten egg and mix until a soft dough forms. Knead for 5-7 minutes until smooth, cover, and let rise for 1 hour.
Apple Filling Preparation
- Peel, core, and dice the apples. In a medium saucepan, combine the apples, sugar, and cinnamon. Cook over medium heat for 5-7 minutes until tender. Remove from heat and let cool.
Cheesecake Filling Preparation
- Beat together the softened cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla until smooth. Set aside.
Bun Assembly
- Once the dough has risen, punch it down and roll to 1/4-inch thick. Spread the cheesecake filling evenly, then the apple filling. Roll tightly into a log and cut into 12 pieces. Arrange in a greased dish, cut side up.
Crumble Preparation
- In a small bowl, combine the flour, brown sugar, and cold butter until it resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in oats if desired. Sprinkle over buns.
Baking
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake buns for 25-30 minutes until golden brown. Let cool for 10 minutes.
Glaze Application
- Whisk together powdered sugar and milk until smooth. Drizzle over buns and enjoy!

Notes
