If you decide to make this bread, be advised that the dough is very soft and not really good for kneading by hand. I just mix it in a bowl and pour it into the mold when I am ready.
Ingredients (makes one loaf):
Dough:
3/4 c milk
1/4 c butter
2 1/2 c all-purpose flour
1 tbsp yeast
1/4 tsp salt
1/2 c sugar
1/4 c water
1 egg
Filling:
2 apples, peeled and cut into small pieces
1 tbsp lemon juice
1/2 c sugar
1 tbsp vanilla
1 tbsp butter
1 tsp cinnamon
Make the dough first. In a large plastic container, heat the milk in the microwave for one minute, add the butter and heat another 30 seconds. The butter should melt into the milk, but the milk should not boil. After the butter is melted, add the rest of the dough ingredients and mix with a wooden spoon until all the ingredients are well mixed together. Let it rise in a warm place for one hour.
Make the filling: mix all the ingredients in a frying pan and cook until the apples begin to soften (3-4 min). Let it cool.
After the dough rises, it is ready to assemble. Grease a loaf pan and alternate layers of dough and layers of filling. The dough will be soft enough to be poured from the container into the loaf pan, and the layers will mix together a bit.
Let it rise in a warm place for one hour.
Bake at 350 for 50 minutes. Let it cool before taking it out of the pan.
