I entered this recipe at the 1971 Iowa State Fair and won first place. You can conveniently make the dough the night before, then shape and bake the buns the next morning. -Shirley Marti, Lansing, Iowa

I'm not usually a fan of sweet buns, but these ones are an exception. The filling is perfectly balanced and not too sweet. I could eat these every day!
