What we wouldn't give to be some of your taste-testers that day, Lizzie. For the apples, 1 cup of peeled apples should do it, which is about 1-2 large apples. Depending on the texture you want them to add, you could either grate them or finely dice them. We'd recommend adding about 3 tablespoons of all-purpose flour with the apples to absorb excess moisture and thicken the filling so the buns aren't soggy. The zest of a lemon would also make the apple flavor pop if you had any on hand. For your frostings, we love both ideas! With either one, you would simply replace the milk in the recipe with brewed cold espresso or with brewed cold early grey tea. If you're looking to use espresso powder rather than liquid espresso, combine 2 teaspoons of espresso powder with your powdered sugar before adding the liquids in the frosting recipe. Happy baking!
