I have been wanting to try Flour Bakery’s sticky buns recipe. I first discovered the iconic pastry watching an episode of Throwdown with Bobby Flay and Chef Joanne Chang won. I have yet to visit the Boston bakery, so, until then, this recipe will give me a taste of what I’m missing.
If I am forever known as the crazy pink pearl apple girl, I’ll gladly accept it. On Instagram, I tried to give myself the title “unofficial pink pearl apple ambassador” so it sounds less obsessive but honestly, I am truly, madly, deeply in love with these fruits.
Typically when there is a recipe I like, it gets filed into the “must-make” folder and I’d forget I put it there. Not with this one. After seeing the Cinnamon-Swirl Apple Slab Pie in the Martha Stewart November issue, I knew Sunday would be pie day in my PJs. I told my friends I was busy. Apology was given in the form of homemade pie.
If you’ve seen my slab pie assembly how-to video, I made it in a jelly roll pan as stated in the recipe. For bake number 2, I used a 9″ pie dish. See the how-to! I love slab pies but thought a round pie would be pretty given the swirl shapes were also circular.
