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)


 Stir to Blend the ingredients
 

Spread a generous amount of butter on the rolled out sweet dough
Spread the pecan apple filling on the dough and roll up as you would a jelly roll and cut into 4" slices. Transfer to two 9x13" prepared pan.Bake in 375º F oven for 30-35 minutes. Makes 12 generous pecan buns.

  1. Those Buns look amazing. I like to splurge every once in a while. Check out my Cleaned up Chocolate cake, http://ashandlewplus2.com/recipes/, It was amazing. Have a great day

  3. Hi Quay Po,
    I'm so glad you enjoyed the photos as I was worried about repeating the recipe twice.
    I must admit that these are my favorite. I guess I do have a sweet tooth after all. They are much richer and sweeter than the earlier recipe.

  5. Hi Gen,
    Your too funny! I'll take it as a compliment. I was really worried about yet another post about sweet buns but I couldn't resist. These are even more wicked with loads of brown sugar and plenty of butter for that caramel flavour.
    Hope you forgive me for leading you astray from your good intentions, LOL

  9. Salut Christophe,
    Tu est vraiment gentil pour avoir prise le temps a m’écrire. Je suis très contente que tu aimes toujours les brioches. Peut-être les brioches étaient encore meilleures parce que t'étais obliger attendre si longue temps. Merci pour ta visite chez Anna’s Table.
