# Steps to Follow:
01 -
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Add the chilled butter and mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
02 -
Pour in the cold buttermilk and stir until just combined. Gently fold in the diced apple and cinnamon. Be careful not to overmix.
03 -
In a separate bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with sugar until smooth. Add the egg and vanilla extract, and mix until fully incorporated. Set aside.
04 -
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
05 -
On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough into a rectangle about 1/2 inch thick. Cut into squares. Place a tablespoon of cream cheese filling in the center of each square. Fold the corners over to create a bun shape and seal well.
06 -
In a small bowl, mix together the oats, brown sugar, melted butter, and cinnamon until crumbly.
07 -
Place the buns on the prepared baking sheet and top each with crumble mixture. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the buns are golden brown.
08 -
Allow the buns to cool slightly before serving.
