- Ingredient quantities listed below are for 8 servings.
Ingredients
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 2 tbsp cinnamon
- 1 tsp salt
- 2 medium apples (peeled and diced)
- 2 tbsp active dry yeast
- 1 cup milk (warm)
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tbsp unsalted butter (melted)
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the warm milk, granulated sugar, and active dry yeast. Let it sit for about 5 minutes until frothy.
- Add the melted butter, eggs, and salt to the yeast mixture, then gradually stir in the all-purpose flour until a dough forms.
- Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 10 minutes until smooth and elastic. Place it in a greased bowl, cover, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.
- While the dough is rising, prepare the filling by mixing the diced apples, brown sugar, and cinnamon in a bowl.
- Once the dough has risen, punch it down and roll it out into a rectangle on a floured surface.
- Spread the apple filling evenly over the dough, then roll it up tightly from the long side to form a log.
- Place the rolled dough into a greased loaf pan, cover it, and let it rise for another 30 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the bread for 35-40 minutes or until golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
