Cooking Tips

• Make sure to beat the eggs well after each addition to incorporate air into the dough.
• When spooning the dough onto the baking sheet, leave enough space between each mound to allow for expansion.
• For a more intense caramel flavor, you can add a drizzle of caramel sauce on top of the filled choux buns.

Storage and Serving

• Caramel apple choux buns are best served fresh, but can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
• To reheat, place the buns in a preheated oven at 180°C for a few minutes until warmed through.
• Serve the choux buns as a dessert or a sweet snack, and pair them with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extra treat.
