• 1/4 cup water (warm)
• 1 tablespoon active dry yeast

• 1/3 cup sugar
• 2 eggs (room temperature)
• 1/3 cup butter (melted)
• 1/2 cup sour cream (room temperature)

• 2 large apples, cored and sliced
• 2 tablespoons butter, melted

Directions

• Mix the water, yeast and sugar into a large bowl and let it sit until foamy, about 10 minutes.
• Add the sugar, eggs, butter, sour cream, vanilla, salt and 2 cups of flour and mix for 2 minutes at medium or 200 strokes by hand.
• Stir in enough of the remaining flour to make a soft dough.
• Place the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead the dough until smooth, about 5 minutes. (The dough should feel soft and buttery and not sticky.)

• Punch down the dough down and knead for 30 seconds before covering and letting it rest for 10 minutes.
• Roll out the dough on a floured surface into a 24 by 12 rectangle and cut it into 1 inch thick strips.
• Brush the butter on the dough and sprinkle on the mixture of the sugar and cinnamon.
• Spiral the strips of dough outwards from the centre of two greased 9 circular baking pans placing apple slices in between the layers of dough.
• Bake in a 375F/190C preheated oven until lightly golden brown, about 15-20 minutes.
• Top the buns with the frosting and enjoy!
