instructions
-
Step 1.
Make the apple filling. Stew the apples, butter and cinnamon in a small saucepan over medium heat until soft, sticky and the liquid is reduced as much as possible. Mash the apples with a fork then set aside to cool completely - best to be refrigerated until adding to the pastry.
-
Step 2.
Heat the oven to 200C and grease a 12 hole muffin tray with melted butter.
-
Step 3.
Make the scroll dough. In a stand alone mixer with a paddle attachment, pulse process the dry ‘bun ingredients’ with the cubed cold butter until you have a fine crumb. Add the milk and continue to process until a dough is formed.
-
Step 4.
Tip the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and give it a gentle knead for 1 minute then leave to rest for 10 minutes.
-
Step 5.
Roll out the dough into a rectangle roughly 5mm thick. Spread the cold apple mixture all over the dough and sprinkle with biscuit crumbs.
-
Step 6.
Roll the long side away from you tightly to form a spiral roll.
-
Step 7.
Cut into 12 even slices and place each piece into the muffin tin, spiral facing up. Brush the top with melted butter.
-
Step 8.
Bake in the oven for 25-30 minutes or until golden.
-
Step 9.
Sprinkle some biscuit crumbs mixed with sugar & cinnamon while they are still hot.
-
Step 10.
Best served warm!
