1 pound Sticky Bun Dough (I Use The Pioneer Woman's Recipe)
2 Tablespoons Softened Butter
60 pieces Brach's Caramels
1/4 cups Light Cream
6 whole Granny Smith Apples (peeled, Cored And Diced)
1 cup Pecans, Chopped
1-1/2 teaspoon Cinnamon
FOR THE ICING:
20 cubes Brach's Caramels
5 Tablespoons Light Cream
3 Tablespoons Butter
2 cups Confectioners Sugar

1
Preheat oven to 375u00b0F. Grease 9x9 square pan with butter. Roll out dough into a rectangle. Spread butter over the top of dough. Set aside.
2
In a medium sauce pan, melt caramels over low heat. Add cream and stir until smooth and silky. Pour over top of the dough and spread evenly. Top with chopped apples and pecans. Sprinkle cinnamon over apple pecan mixture.
3
Roll up and slice into 2-inch sections. Place in pan and bake for 18 minutes or until golden brown.
4
While the rolls are baking, make icing: In a medium saucepan (dang, you are going to have to wash that first pot, sorry), combine caramels, cream, butter and sugar. Cook over low heat until it all comes together into a smooth and thick icing. Add a little cream if it gets too thick to stir. You want it to be spreadable but not runny.
5
Smooth icing over top of the hot sticky buns. Devour.

Tips for the best results

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Taste as you go and adjust the seasoning before serving.
Avoid overcrowding the pan — cook in batches if needed for the best texture.
Let the dish rest for a few minutes before serving so the flavors settle.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions

Use a neutral oil or a plant-based spread in place of butter for a dairy-free version.
Brown sugar instead of white sugar adds a deeper, more caramel-like flavor.
Leave out the nuts to make it nut-free, or swap in seeds for a similar crunch.
Coconut cream is a reliable plant-based alternative to dairy cream.
