Cross raced to a 5-2 lead, before Bunting brought it all the way back at 5-5.
But 'Voltage' had too much power in the end and took the following three legs to win the title.
Earlier, Cross beat Welsh star Gerwyn Price 7-3 in the semi-finals in Den Bosch.
Bunting can take some pride in the fact he was able to beat Luke Littler 7-6 in the previous round.
Speaking after his win over Bunting, Cross told ITV: "Stephen is a great man, he is a credit to the sport.
"I am just so grateful that I won. Obviously, the crowd has been brilliant. I think it's about time I won in the Netherlands!"
