Pecan/ Apple Sticky Buns

 Elton John sings "And you can tell everybody that this is your song

                          It might be quite simple but now that it's done

                          I hope that you don't mind,I hope you don't mind...", (from '"Your Song" written by Bernie Taupin)

These lyrics came to mind as I deliberated whether to once again post more photos of sweet dough buns but this time, pecan buns which I especially made for Christophe.  You see I've been promising to make him a batch for the longest time and kept putting it off.  He is my biggest  fan and even dares to claim that they are better than his mom's. Luckily this hasn't caused a major rift between me and my girlfriend, Nicole. I hope he doesn't mind the addition of apples to the original recipe and to my readers, I hope you don't mind more photos of sweet rolls. 

Pecan Apple Filling

In a mixing bowl mix together 1 cup of warm apple filling (recipe in previous post) to 1cup of brown sugar, 1/2 cup soft butter,and 11/2 cup coarsely chopped pecans(you can also add 1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon if desired)
