Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Grease the sides and bottom of a 10-inch round cake pan with butter.
- For the filling: In a bowl, add the brown sugar, pecans, diced apple, lemon zest, cinnamon, nutmeg, cardamom and a pinch of salt. Stir until combined.
- In a small pot, melt the 2 tablespoons butter with a pinch of salt. Lightly dust a clean work surface with flour. Flatten the puff pastry and roll with a rolling pin to even out and seal the perforations, if any. Brush the butter all over the puff pastry, leaving a 1-inch border at one of the shorter ends. Sprinkle the apple-cinnamon mixture evenly over the pastry sheet, being careful to leave that 1-inch border. Starting from the end furthest from the edge without any filling, begin to tightly roll the pastry. Tuck and press as you go, keeping the log as even as possible. When the edge is reached, roll the pastry onto itself and press firmly, even pinching, to seal. Using a serrated knife, trim the edges and gently cut 6 equal slices from each log. Repeat with the second puff pastry sheet to make 12 pieces total.
- Place the slices spiral side up in the prepared cake pan. Start around the edges and fill in the center. Bake until the pastry is cooked through and golden brown, 35 to 40 minutes.
- Meanwhile, for the glaze: In a small pot, add the butter and melt over low heat. Add the vanilla extract and lemon juice and begin whisking in the powdered sugar in 1/4 cup increments. Continue adding and whisking between additions until the glaze thickens. Season with a pinch of salt, then remove from the heat.
- Remove the buns from the oven and pour the glaze over the top. Let rest about 5 minutes before serving. Serve warm.

Steps:
- Pour water into the bowl of a stand mixer. Sprinkle yeast evenly over water, and let stand until foamy, 5 to 7 minutes. Whisk until smooth, then whisk in 1/2 cup flour to form a loose paste. Let rise in a warm place until yeast mixture has risen and fallen, about 30 minutes.
- Add eggs, 1/4 cup sugar, salt, and remaining flour to yeast mixture. Knead dough, using dough hook attachment on mixer, until smooth, 4 to 5 minutes.
- Add 1 stick butter, and knead until dough is smooth and elastic, about 10 minutes (add a little more flour if the dough is too sticky). Turn out dough onto an unfloured work surface, and knead by hand until very smooth, about 3 minutes. Transfer dough to another bowl, and let rise in a warm place, covered with a damp cloth or plastic wrap, until doubled, 1 1/2 to 2 hours. Punch down dough; press out air bubbles.
- Lightly butter a 9-inch pie plate or 9-inch square glass baking dish. Place melted butter in a bowl. Stir together remaining 1 cup sugar and the cinnamon in another bowl.
- Roll dough into 1-inch balls (you should have about 45). Working with 1 at a time, dip balls into melted butter, then roll in cinnamon sugar and place in pie plate. Stack balls to form a dome. Sprinkle with any remaining cinnamon sugar, and drizzle with any leftover butter. Cover with plastic wrap, and let balls rise by half, about 1 hour.
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Unwrap balls, and place pie plate on a baking sheet. Bake until golden and firm, and a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean, 50 to 55 minutes. Let bites cool in dish 15 minutes, then drizzle with glaze.

Steps:
- Prepare dough: Stir together flour, sugar, brown sugar, salt, and baking soda. Add butter, eggs, and vanilla; mix until a soft dough forms (do not overmix.) Refrigerate for 15 to 30 minutes to make it easier to roll out.
- While the dough is chilling, prepare filling. Combine sugar, brown sugar, pecans, butter, cinnamon, and vanilla in a saucepan over low heat. Cook until melted, but don't let it caramelize. Remove from the heat.
- Divide the cold dough into 2 equal sections. Roll each out on a lightly floured surface to a 9x13-inch rectangle.
- Pour 1/2 of the filling mixture onto each rectangle and spread evenly. Staring with the longer side, roll each rectangle tightly to form a log. Wrap and refrigerate 8 hours to overnight.
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Remove dough logs from the refrigerator. Cut into 1/4 to 1/2 inch thick slices. Place on the prepared baking sheets about 2 inches apart.
- Bake in the preheated oven in batches until light golden brown, 8 to 12 minutes. Cool on the baking sheet for 1 minute before removing to a wire rack to cool, 8 to 10 minutes more.
- Combine powdered sugar, butter, 1 tablespoon milk, and vanilla for glaze. Mix until smooth, adding milk if necessary to preferred thickness. Drizzle over the cooled cookies.

Tips:
- Use high-quality vanilla extract for the best flavor. If you don't have vanilla extract, you can substitute 1 teaspoon of vanilla bean paste or 2 teaspoons of vanilla powder.
- If you don't have heavy cream, you can substitute milk or half and half. However, the glaze will be thinner and less creamy.
- If you want a thicker glaze, add more powdered sugar. If you want a thinner glaze, add more milk or heavy cream.
- If you want a glaze with a shiny finish, brush the cinnamon bun bites with a simple syrup before glazing.
- Store the glazed cinnamon bun bites in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
Conclusion:
This vanilla glaze is the perfect finishing touch for cinnamon bun bites. It's easy to make and adds a delicious flavor and shine to the buns. Whether you're making them for a special occasion or just for a snack, these glazed cinnamon bun bites are sure to be a hit!
