Meet the Vermont Maple Pull-Apart baked by Klinger's Bread Company in South Burlington: the dessert, breakfast pastry, or midday work snack meant to be shared. It’s sticky on your hands, but will melt in your mouth — and certainly stick to your thighs, so be warned.
“It’s like crack,” Andy Mignano, Klinger’s wholesale manager, said with a laugh at the bakery’s location at 10 Farrell St. “People at food festivals have come up to me and said things like ‘I’d meet you in a back alley for this.’”
The Maple Pull-Apart is a mixture of buttery croissant dough, cinnamon, sugar and a maple syrup glaze on top. It has a taste that resembles a classic cinnamon bun, but has quintessential Vermont ingredients. The pastry is made using local maple syrup, flour and dairy. The Pull-Apart comes in a 16-ounce tray that can be heated at home to mimic that fresh-baked goodness, in case you miss it just coming out of the oven at the bakery. It is also available at stores statewide.
