In a mixing bowl, combine flour, sugar, yeast, and salt.
In another bowl, whisk together warm milk, egg, and softened butter.

In a bowl, mix cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth.
In a pan over medium heat, melt butter.
Add diced apple along with brown sugar and cinnamon; sauté until tender (about 5 minutes).
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) so it's ready for baking once your buns are assembled.
Roll out the dough into a rectangle about ½ inch thick.
Spread cheesecake filling evenly over the dough surface.
Spoon apple filling on top of cheesecake layer.
Roll up tightly from one long edge into a log shape.
Cut into equal pieces (about 6) and place on lined baking sheet.
In a bowl, combine flour, sugar, and cold cubed butter using your fingers or a pastry cutter until crumbly.
Sprinkle crumble mixture over each bun.
Bake in preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown.
