If these are not the best apple buns around, then who knows what else could be! Make sure to eat them warm and get all the sticky syrup!

    I don’t know how the oil will affect this recipe, I think it might work at the same amounts.

    Probably adding the syrup later is best.

    Yes, these can be frozen and would work well to warm up before serving.

    This recipe sounds really yummy! However I do not bake with margarine as it is really unhealthy. Can I substitute with oil? If yes, how much? Thanks

    Great Rosh Hashana recipe. Looks delicious! Can’t wait to bake it.
    By the way,

    Sounds amazing. I’m going to make it with butter. (For the record, 1 standard American stick of butter/margarine is 100 grams, not 200.)
