I'm addicted to Baker's Delight apple hot cross buns. They're $10 for 6 and I have a mortgage so I'm trying to create my own.
Base Recipe: https://www.recipetineats.com/hot-cross-buns-recipe/
For anyone who is curious about my additions I used pink lady apples instead of saltanas, that I macerated with brown sugar, cardamom and orange zest. I also added 2tsp of cardamom to the dough. I ignored proving times because I'm in an Australian summer and it was HOT today. At the end of the bake I cranked the oven up to 250 degrees for a couple of minutes to brown up the tops.

looking good op, looking good
Omg….they turned out PERFECT! Thank you for sharing the recipe op, I’m saving this post. Edit: btw substituting saltanas with apples is a genius move.
“And I have a mortgage” made me chuckle out loud.
They look amazing!
In the US these are mostly an Easter treat. I’ve never seen them for sale, or homemade beyond spring.
Are they a year round treat in your area?
