APPLE FRITTER HAWAIIAN ROLLS STICKY BUNS

It’s odd how I come up with recipes sometimes. I scrolled past an old post of Apple Fritter Cake recently which got me thinking, ‘How can I make an easier version of this?’ This thought paired with my self-imposed challenge regarding Hawaiin rolls brought me to this Apple Fritter Sticky Buns recipe.

I had challenged myself a couple of months back to develop a few easy recipes with King’s Hawaiian sweet rolls and slider buns. Below are some that I have already shared. I made these like my Hawaiian Rolls Sticky Buns. Click on the photo for the recipe.

I used a 12-count package of Hawaiian rolls but you can really use any kind of premade, precooked roll. However, I like the King’s Hawaiian rolls best because they have a subtly sweet and light texture.

You can easily double or triple this recipe.

The full recipe with ingredient amounts and instructions is at the bottom of this post. You can save a tree and save the recipe to your personal and private recipe box right here on Call Me PMc. This way you’ll never misplace it as well as help the planet.

As well, for your convenience, I highlighted and linked to the products so that you can see exactly what I used. You are not obligated to purchase them if you just want to open and look at them. Of course, you can easily add them to your grocery cart if you do want to purchase them.

For your Apple Fritter Sticky Buns, you’ll need

  1. Hawaiian sweet rolls. Hawaiian rolls are slightly sweet, buttery, soft rolls. You’re probably most familiar with King’s brand Hawaiian rolls but they do come in other brands, like this, and any brand will work. Actually, you can also use Sister Schubert parker house rolls for this recipe.
  2. Butter. No substitutions.
  3. Heavy cream. I haven’t tested with a substitute. Therefore, I can’t give a good recommendation for one.
  4. Light or dark brown sugar. 
  5. Light corn syrup. I use Karo brand. This contains no high fructose corn syrup. Corn syrup is used in foods to soften texture, add volume, prevent the crystallization of sugar, and enhance flavor.
  6. Salt.
  7. Apples. I used Gala apples. About 3 depending on the size of the apples. You don’t have to be exact.
  8. Pecans (optional). I didn’t add pecans to this particular recipe, but you can add 1 cup of chopped or whole pecans. Buying chopped pecans is cheaper.
  9. 9×13-inch baking dish. If you use a generic Hawaiian sweet roll, they may be smaller than King’s. You can possibly use a 7×12-inch dish.
  10. Heavy bottom saucepan. This is for the caramel sauce and apples.
  11. Silicone spatula. I recommend a high-heat silicone spatula.
  12. Parchment paper. Simply for ease of cleanup.

WHAT ARE STICKY BUNS?

Sticky buns are traditionally sweet yeast rolls that are baked in a pan with nuts, butter, and sugar. Once they’re done, the rolls are flipped over and the caramel nutty bottom becomes the top. As the caramel cools, it gets thicker and sticky.

Apple fritters are apple doughnuts flavored with cinnamon and covered with a simple glaze.

These apple sweet rolls have the same flavors but are much easier and quicker to make.

Prep Time: 8 minutes
Cook Time: 15 minutes
Servings: 12 servings

Ingredients

  • ½ cup butter unsalted
  • ½ cup heavy cream
  • 1 cup brown sugar light or dar, packed
  • 4 tablespoons light corn syrup
  • ⅛ teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup apples chopped small
  • 12 pack Hawaiian sweet rolls

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F and line a 9×13-inch baking dish with parchment paper. Cut an 'X' in the top of each roll, cutting almost to the bottom of the roll.
  • In a small saucepan over medium heat, add the butter, cream, brown sugar, corn syrup, salt, and chopped apples. Stir until the butter has melted. Bring to a boil to ensure all of the sugar has dissolved. After the mixture reaches a boil. Turn it to low and cook until the apples get soft 4 to 5 minutes.
  • Pour the mixture into the bottom of your prepared dish.
  • Place the Hawaiian sweet rolls top side down in the caramel.
  • Bake for 18 to 20 minutes or until brown. Remove the rolls from the oven and allow them to rest for about 5 minutes. Time it because you do not want to wait much longer than 5 minutes.
  • Place a large serving platter over the baking dish and invert the rolls out onto the platter. Be cautious, the caramel is still very hot.
  • Spoon any remaining caramel and apples that are left in the pan over the rolls and into the places that you cut in the rolls. You want that caramel to seep down into the rolls.
  • Serve right away.
  • Wrap any leftovers in an airtight container and refrigerate. They'll stay fresh for 3 days in the fridge. They are best reheated in the oven.
