Apple Fritter-style Buns/Rolls

 So, I really like how these delicious apple pie-style rolls taste. The nice thing is the dough itself has almost no sugar in it. There is some sugar from the apple pie filling, although I don't like to use too much added sugar in my homemade apple pie filling.  I find that even with the light cream cheese glaze on top these aren't too sweet. Great for a treat or even a yummy breakfast treat. And SO easy to whip together! In the mood for a proper apple fritter, the fried version of these delicious rolls are also delicious. Enjoy! 

Fresh from the oven and glazed while still warm. Yum!

Apple Fritters-style Buns/Rolls 
Makes ~16 apple fritter-style rolls
Preheat oven to 375 F.  Line 1-2 two cookie sheets with parchment paper.

Mix together in a mixer: 
1 cup white rice flour
1/2 cup brown rice flour
1/2 cup tapioca starch
1/4 cup potato starch
1/4 cup arrowroot starch or cornstarch
1 tsp xanthan gum
2 tsp rapid-rise/quick yeast
1/2 tsp salt
2 Tbsp sugar
1/2 tsp baking soda

Add, then beat until nice and smooth, 2-3 minutes: 
3 eggs
3/4 cup milk, warmed
1/4 cup butter, softened
1 tsp vanilla bean paste OR vanilla extract
1 tsp apple cider vinegar

Fold into batter: 
2 cups chunky homemade apple pie filling (room temperature or slightly warmed, not hot!)

Scoop large scoops (I use a large cookie-scoop) rounds onto parchment-lined pan. Let rise in a warm location for 20-30 minutes.   Bake at 375 F for 25-30 minutes, until nicely browned. 

Remove from heat and place pans on cooling racks.  

Cream cheese frosting/glaze
Beat the following by hand OR in a mixer until nice and smooth (for a lighter frosting/glaze, make half the amount):
2 Tbsp butter, softened
3 oz cream cheese, softened
1 - 2 cups powdered sugar  (I find you can just adjust how much milk is added depending on the amount of powdered sugar being used, and it ends up being quite nice either way)
1 tsp vanilla bean paste OR vanilla extract
2-3 tsp milk, added slowly, until desired thickness

Top with the cream cheese frosting glaze while still warm, or wait until cooler to spread with glaze.  These yummy apple fritter-style buns/rolls are best served warm.  You can freeze leftovers, or place them in the refrigerator and warm up before serving. Enjoy! 
Ready for some taste-testing! Yum!
