Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 0.25 cups Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoons Salt
- 2.25 teaspoons Instant yeast
- 1 cups Whole milk
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1 Large egg
- 0.5 cups Brown sugar
- 2 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
- 3 medium Apples (peeled, cored, and finely chopped)
- 1 cups Powdered sugar
- 0.5 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons Milk (for glaze)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine 3 cups of flour, sugar, salt, and yeast. Mix well.
In a small saucepan, heat milk and butter over low heat until butter is melted. Let cool slightly to about 110°F-115°F.
Add the warm milk mixture to the dry ingredients and mix. Add in the egg and continue mixing until a soft dough forms.
Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 8-10 minutes, adding the remaining 1/2 cup of flour gradually, until the dough is smooth and elastic.
Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a clean kitchen towel, and let rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.
While the dough rises, prepare the filling by combining the brown sugar, ground cinnamon, and chopped apples in a bowl. Mix thoroughly and set aside.
Punch down the dough and roll it out on a floured surface into a large rectangle, about 12x18 inches.
Spread the apple-cinnamon filling evenly over the dough, leaving a 1-inch border around the edges.
Roll the dough tightly into a log, starting from the long side, and pinch the seam to seal it.
Shape the log into a ring and carefully transfer it to a parchment-lined baking sheet. Pinch the ends together to close the ring.
Using kitchen scissors, make cuts two-thirds of the way through the dough every 1 inch around the ring. Gently twist each section slightly to expose the filling.
Cover with a towel and let rise again for 20-30 minutes.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the ring for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through.
While the ring bakes, prepare the glaze by whisking together powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and 2 tablespoons of milk in a small bowl until smooth.
Once the ring is baked, let it cool for 10 minutes, then drizzle the glaze over the top.
Serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy!
