Number Of Ingredients 14

1 package (1/4 ounce) active dry yeast
3 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup butter or margarine, softened
3 egg yolks, beaten
1 cup (8 ounces) sour cream
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup finely chopped pecans
3/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 medium tart apple, peeled, cored and finely chopped
ICING:
1 cup confectioners' sugar
4 teaspoons milk
1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
Finely chopped pecans

Steps:

In a mixing bowl, combine the yeast and flour; add butter and mix well. Add egg yolks and sour cream; mix well. Shape into four balls. Place in separate resealable plastic bags or wrap in plastic wrap; refrigerate overnight. In a small bowl, combine sugar, pecans and cinnamon; set aside. On a floured surface, roll each ball of dough into a 9-in. circle. Sprinkle with sugar mixture and apple. Cut each circle into 16 wedges; roll up from wide edge and pinch to seal. Place with point side down on greased baking sheets. Bake at 350° for 16-20 minutes or until lightly browned. Immediately remove to wire racks to cool. For icing, combine sugar, milk and vanilla until smooth; drizzle over the twists. Sprinkle with pecans.
Yield: 64 twists.
Editor's Note: The yeast does not need to be dissolved in liquid, and no rising time is necessary before baking.
