Hello October | Cozy slow autumn day in English Countryside | Caramel Apple Cinnamon Buns | Bibury

Inspiration for gentle cozy autumn in English countryside - visiting a beautiful National Trust, a quaint village called Bibury in the Cotswolds and baking caramel apple cinnamon buns.

= Sticky Caramel Apple Cinnamon Bun recipe =

Dough:
360g plain flour (+ 2 tbsp at the end)
45g sugar
7g packet of dry activated yeast / or 2 1/2 tbsp
1/2 tsp salt (omit salt if using salted butter)
120g milk
75g unsalted butter (softened)
1 tsp Vanilla extract
1 egg
60g room temp water

Warm up your milk in the microwave for about 20 seconds - it should be warm to touch but not boiling hot. You should be able to touch it with the finger without burning yourself. If it's too hot let it cool down a little bit. To the warm milk add 1 tsp of sugar and a packet of yeast, mix. Let it sit for about 5 minutes - yeast will bubble up on top.
Combine flour, salt, the rest of your sugar. Make a little well in the middle and pour yeast milk, softened butter and vanilla - mix well. Add 1 egg, mix, then add water and knead your dough well. It will be very sticky in the beginning, so start by mixing with a spoon and then start mixing by hand. It will take about 8-10 minutes of light kneading for the dough to become less sticky.
Cover with a towel and let the dough rest in a warm place for 1-2h or until it doubles in size.

Filling:
60g softened butter
60g brown sugar
2 tbsp cinnamon
A handful of chopped pecans
1-2 small grated apples

In the meantime prepare the filling.
Mix sugar with cinnamon. Chop pecans. Grate 1-2 apples and squeeze out their juice.

Once the dough has risen, spread it into a rectangle about 1-2cm high. Spread a thin layer of softened butter on top. Sprinkle sugar, chopped pecans and grated apple. Roll the dough and cut the buns (about 4 finger wide). I had 8 buns in total.
Cover with a towel and let the buns rest for 30 mins to 1h in a warm place.

Preheat the oven to 180C/ 356F
Bake for 18 minutes.
Pour warm caramel sauce on top and sprinkle with extra pecans.

Best served warm :)

I made caramel using this recipe (but also added some salt and a dash of whiskey into it): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KO-g8c8q6bw&ab_channel=Life%2CLoveandSugar
