1 Video | Photo: Apple Walnut Sticky Buns Recipe
Ingredients
- 1 Granny Smith apple
- 3/4 cup chopped walnuts
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 5 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
- 2 (8-count) tubes refrigerated cinnamon rolls
- 1/2 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
- 1 to 2 teaspoons water
Directions
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Generously butter a 12-count muffin tin.
Peel, core and dice the apples into 1/2-inch cubes. In a medium bowl stir together the diced apples with the walnuts and brown sugar.
Divide the apple mixture evenly into the muffin tin. Put 12 cinnamon buns, cinnamon side up, on top of the apple mixture. Put the muffin tin on a baking sheet and bake until the tops are golden brown, about 8 to 10 minutes. (Bake off remaining 4 buns for Round 2 Recipe Cinnamon Roll French Toast.)
Remove the muffin tin from the oven and allow to cool for 5 minutes. Put a clean baking sheet on top of the muffin tin and flip to remove the sticky buns.
In a small bowl, combine 1 container of the vanilla frosting (save the other for Round 2 Cinnamon Roll French Toast) with the pumpkin pie spice and 1 to 2 teaspoons of water. Mix until very thick and of pourable consistency. Drizzle over buns and serve.

I made the sticky buns this morning 11/11/11....they turned out perfect. Next time I won't use the glaze only because it made them too sweet for my liking. Also, I would recommend using the large muffin pans I had to make adjustments for them to fit in the regular size.

Made these today and they were very good despite my mistake of forgetting the butter. I am sure they will be even better when I make them with the butter next time. Glad that I saw the video because she put the cinnamon side down and the instructions in the recipe say side up. I usually make Ina's sticky buns but these were very good and really quick...well other than me not having any pumpkin pie spice in the house and having to make some fast...:

YUM-O! This recipe was super easy! I'm not a baker, but these buns came out perfectly. The real trick is to make sure you push the buns down nice and tight. Then all the gooey goodness and apples will stick. Everyone loved them. They were gone in a day. I made one batch as the recipe is written. Then I made one batch with Gala apples and pecans. Both were splendid!
