Ingredients for Quick Buns with Apples and Whipped Cream
- 95 g sugar
- 1 egg
- 50 g butter
- 30 ml milk
- 120 g all-purpose flour
- 1 apple
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- cinnamon and ginger powder
- 200 g 33% fat cream (heavy or whipping cream)
- 50 g powdered sugar (icing sugar)
How to Make Quick Buns with Apples and Whipped Cream

Add cold milk to the melted butter and pour the mixture into the bowl with the whisked egg and sugar.
Whisk the egg and sugar together.
Melt the butter. Add cold milk to the melted butter and pour the mixture into the bowl with the whisked egg and sugar. Whisk the wet ingredients until the sugar granules have completely dissolved.
Add the wheat flour (all-purpose flour is best) to the bowl with the wet ingredients. Sprinkle baking powder over the flour. Add 1/4 teaspoon each of ground cinnamon and ginger powder.
Quickly mix the batter until it is smooth, uniform, and free of flour lumps.
Cut the apple into thin strips or small cubes. Add the chopped apple to the batter and mix everything well.
Any mold with individual portions or separate muffin tins will work for baking. This recipe uses a silicone donut mold, which is convenient as it leaves indentations in the buns for the filling. Grease the mold with vegetable oil or use a cooking spray. Spoon the apple batter into the molds, filling them to about one centimeter from the top.
Preheat the oven to 185°C (365°F). Place the mold with the buns in the preheated oven for 15-17 minutes. Check for doneness with a skewer or by pressing a finger on the batter – if it springs back and doesn’t sink, the buns are baked. Let the finished buns cool in the mold for 5 minutes, then carefully remove them. Now you need to cool them quickly to fill them with whipped cream. I suggest placing them on a small cutting board and putting them in the refrigerator or freezer for a few minutes.
Pour the cold 33% fat cream into a mixer bowl. Add powdered sugar, adjusting the amount to your taste. You can also flavor the cream with vanilla. Whip the cream for a few minutes until stiff peaks form and the whisk leaves stable tracks.
Transfer the whipped cream to a piping bag with a decorative tip. Pipe a generous portion of cream into the center of each bun. Since I used a donut mold, the portion of cream is quite large. If you bake in regular muffin tins, you’ll need to cut out a cone shape with a knife to fit more cream. You can toast the cut-out pieces on a baking sheet and use them for decoration.
Dust the buns with powdered sugar through a fine-mesh sieve and serve with a cup of coffee.
And there you have it – beautiful, delicious apple buns ready to be enjoyed! We hope you love the comforting aroma and delightful taste of these little treats. Don't hesitate to get creative: add a handful of chopped walnuts for extra crunch or a pinch of nutmeg for more warmth. These buns are best enjoyed fresh, but you can store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for a day or two. Thank you for baking with us, and we hope this simple recipe brings a little extra sweetness to your day!
