Yield 6 slices

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 tablespoons butter
1/2 cup sugar
1 teaspoon cinnamon (I used cardamom instead)
1 apple (I used a medium-sized Rome)
1/2 cup raisins (recipe called for "a few". Ha! )
1 (1/4 ounce) package active dry yeast
3/4 cup water (Warm at 105-115 degrees)
1/4 cup sugar
1 teaspoon salt
1 cup flour
1 egg, beaten
1/4 cup shortening (I used very soft butter)
1 1/4 cups flour
1 teaspoon cinnamon (This was NOT in the original recipe. If you're using cinnamon above, then add this to the dough for )

Steps:

Heat oven to 375 degrees.
Plump 1/2 cup of raisins in either water or apple juice. Set aside.
Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a 9 x 9" or 8 x 8" pan. (I used 8 x 8" with perfect results.).
Mix sugar and preferred spice with a fork in a small bowl. Sprinkle sugar mixture over melted butter in pan.
Take a medium to large apple and cut into very thin slices. The original photo showed the apple with it's peel left on; I preferred to remove it.
Arrange apple slices in rows, over the sugar mixture.
Drain raisins and sprinkle over the sliced apples.
In a large bowl, stir together the package of yeast and the 3/4 cup of warm water. Stir until completely dissolved.
To the yeast, add 1/4 cup sugar, 1 teaspoon salt and 1 cup of flour. Beat by hand 2 minutes or until batter drops from spoon in sheets.
Add and beat until smooth 1 egg, 1/4 cup of shortening (I used very soft butter), 1 1/4 cup of flour, and the extra teaspoon of spice, if you prefer.
Drop batter by small spoonfuls over the apples and raisins in pan, keeping dough close to each other. Cover pan and allow to rise in warm place until double; 50-60 minutes.
Bake in a 375 degree oven for 30-35 minutes or until top is lightly browned.
IMMEDIATELY remove the bread from pan by turning it upside down over serving plate. The sugar/butter mixture provides a glaze.
Allow to cool. This is nice the first day and spectacular the second!

Time 3h30m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 cups milk
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1 cup packed brown sugar
1 package regular active dry yeast
4 1/2 cups Gold Medal™ all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons salt
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
3 tablespoons butter, melted
3 tablespoons ground cinnamon
2 medium Granny Smith apples, thinly sliced
1 cup powdered sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 to 3 tablespoons milk

Steps:

In 3-quart saucepan, stir together milk, oil and 1/2 cup of the brown sugar. Heat to simmering over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until sugar is dissolved. Remove from heat; cool until warm (between 90°F and 110°F).
Add yeast and 2 cups of the flour; stir until blended. Cover; let rise in warm place 1 hour or until doubled in size. Stir in remaining 2 1/2 cups flour, the salt, baking powder and baking soda.
Heat oven to 350°F. Spray 8x4- or 9x5-inch loaf pan with cooking spray.
On floured work surface, roll dough into 20x12-inch rectangle. Cut into 5 (4-inch strips), then cut crosswise 6 times, making 30 (4x2-inch) rectangles.
In small bowl, stir together melted butter, cinnamon and remaining 1/2 cup brown sugar. Spread mixture over rectangles. Place 1 or 2 apple slices on each rectangle. Create 5 stacks of dough with 6 rectangles in each stack. Place stacks in loaf pan, edges facing toward bottom of pan and sugared sides facing center of loaf, not ends of pan.
Bake 25 to 35 minutes or until puffed and golden brown. Cool 10 minutes; remove from pan to cooling rack. Cool about 1 hour.
In a small bowl, mix glaze ingredients with wire whisk until smooth and thin enough to drizzle. Drizzle glaze over loaf.
