Apple buns
Description
The baking is simple and quick. For the buns, you'll need sweet and juicy apples. I've indicated an approximate quantity—the exact number depends on the size of the apples and may range from 4 to 6. If you don't have enough filling, don't worry; you can always add raisins, dried apricots, nuts, dried cherries, or other tasty ingredients to these buns. Shaping the buns is easy and attractive. Place a row of sliced apples onto the rolled-out dough, cover with dough, and roll it up into a log. Place the rose-shaped buns into a greased baking pan, let them rest for at least 30 minutes, and once the buns have risen, they're ready to bake! Optionally, you can add vanilla sugar or vanilla extract to the dough or filling. Good luck! The baking is done. Serve at the table.

4. Add the flour in parts. Mix the dough in a bowl with a spoon, then finish kneading on the countertop. The dough should not be too stiff; once it stops sticking to your hands and comes together into a ball, it's ready. The amount of flour I indicated is approximate, taking into account the flour used for dusting.

5. Place the dough in a deep bowl and cover with a towel. Preheat the oven to 40-45 degrees Celsius, then turn it off. Put the dough inside and leave it undisturbed for about an hour. The warmth will allow the dough to rise properly.

8. Deflate the dough and knead it well on the table once again. Divide it into 16 equal parts—this can be easily done by cutting the dough in half with a knife, then cutting each piece in half again, and repeating this process until you have 16 equal pieces. Roll out each piece of dough with a rolling pin, as shown in the photo. Place about one and a half tablespoons of chopped apples onto the dough. Try to distribute the apple pieces evenly over the upper half of the dough.
