Easter 2023: Flavoured Hot Cross Buns Editor Review
I Tried the Supermarket's Weirdest Hot Cross Bun Flavours so You Don’t Have to

Lidl Deluxe Apple & Cinnamon Hot Cross Buns (£1.39 for four)
If you're cautious about trying some of this year's pretty out-there hot cross bun flavours, then Lidl's Apple & Cinnamon buns might provide you with some much-needed comfort as they don't stray too far from the traditional baked goods. These buns are lightly spiced with warming cinnamon, bursting with apple pieces, and orange-infused sultanas.
What I liked: This one is the closest to a traditional hot cross bun, but it's still very much deserving of a place on our list. The flavour gives pure cinnamon goodness, and smells like Christmas (in the best way!) If you like a little sweet and savoury treat, it works really nicely with a burger, or as the bun to a sausage sarnie. The options really are limitless.
What I didn't like: There's nothing to dislike about these buns, aside from the fact that it's a failsafe option and isn't that daring. But you know what they say, if it ain't broke, don't fix it.
