Prepare Dough
- In a mixing bowl, combine flour, warm milk, egg, yeast, sugar, vanilla sugar, and salt. Mix until dough forms, then knead for 5-10 minutes until smooth. Incorporate softened butter, cover, and let rise for 1 hour.
Prepare Apple Filling
- Peel and dice apples. In a skillet, melt butter then add apples, brown sugar, and cinnamon. Sauté for 5-7 minutes. Mix cornstarch slurry and add to apples until thickened. Cool completely.
Prepare Cheesecake Filling
- In a bowl, whisk cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla sugar until smooth and creamy.
Shape Buns
- After rising, punch down dough and divide into 9 portions. Roll into balls and rest for 15 minutes. Press a floured glass into the center of each ball.
Assemble Buns

Notes
Allow apple filling to cool completely before adding to the buns. Press dough deeply when shaping for proper filling hold. Store leftovers in the refrigerator and reheat at low temp.
