Apple and Cinnamon Pull-Apart Bread
Ingredients for dough:
Melted butter - 1/2 stick
Milk - 1/3 cup (warm)
Warm water - 1/4 cup
Eggs - 2 large
Vanilla Extract - 1 tsp.
All-Purpose flour - 1 1/2 cup
Whole wheat flour - 1 1/2 cup
Granulated sugar - 1/4 cup
Ground cinnamon - 1 tsp.
Salt - a pinch
Instant yeast - 2 1/2 tsp.
Ingredients for filling:
Butter - 1/2 stick
Brown sugar - 3/4 cup
Cornstarch - 1 tbsp.
Ground cinnamon - 1 tbsp.
Vanilla Extract - 1/2 tsp.
Apples - 4 (peeled, cores removed, and thinly sliced)
Raisins - 1/2 cup
Method of preparing the dough:
  1. We start with the filling. Melt the butter, toss the rest of the ingredients together and cook in the butter 5 minutes until tender. Set aside.
  2. Moving on to make the dough, whisk the remaining 1/2 stick of butter, milk, and water, then add the eggs and vanilla.
  3. In a separate bowl, combine all the flour, the granulated sugar, 1 teaspoon of cinnamon, yeast, and salt. Mix well.
  4. Combine the dry and wet ingredients. Knead into a soft and pliable dough, and form it into a ball.
  5. Grease a bowl and insert the dough. Cover with plastic and let rise until doubled in size, about 1 hour.
  6. Grease a 9x5-inch tin loaf pan. Roll out the dough into a 12x20-inch rectangle.
  7. Place the apple slices on top of the dough. Then cut the dough into 3x12-inch long strips. Stack each strip on top of the other.
  8. Cut the stacked dough pieces across into 3-inch squares. Arrange them sideways into the pan, squeezing to fit if neede.
  9. Cover and let rise for another 1 hour. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
  10. Bake for 30 minutes, cover with foil and bake for another 15-25 minutes. Let cool 15 minutes before serving.
