Ingredients

• 3.5 cups All-purpose flour
• 0.25 cups Granulated sugar
• 1 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 2.25 teaspoons Instant yeast
• 0.5 cups Whole milk
• 0.33 cups Water
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 2 medium Apples (peeled, cored, and diced)
• 0.5 cups Brown sugar
• 1 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoons Nutmeg
• 3 tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted
• 1 cups Powdered sugar
• 2 tablespoons Milk or heavy cream
• 0.5 teaspoons Vanilla extract

Directions

Step 1

In a small saucepan, warm the milk and butter together over low heat until the butter is melted. Let the mixture cool to about 110°F (43°C).

Step 2

In a large bowl, combine 2 cups of flour, sugar, yeast, and salt. Add the milk mixture and stir until combined.

Step 3

Add the water and mix until a sticky dough forms. Slowly add the remaining flour, 1/2 cup at a time, until the dough is easy to handle and no longer sticky.

Step 4

Place the dough on a lightly floured surface and knead for about 5-7 minutes, until smooth and elastic.

Step 5

Lightly grease a clean bowl, place the dough inside, cover with a damp cloth, and let rise for 1 hour or until doubled in size.

Step 6

Meanwhile, prepare the apple filling by combining the diced apples, brown sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg in a small bowl. Set aside.

Step 7

Punch down the risen dough and roll it out into a large rectangle, approximately 10x20 inches.

Step 8

Brush the rolled-out dough with the melted butter, then spread the apple mixture evenly over the surface.

Step 9

Cut the dough into strips lengthwise (about 4 inches wide) and stack them on top of one another. Then, cut into squares (about 4 inches each).

Step 10

Grease a 9x5 inch loaf pan and stack the squares vertically into the pan, loosely filling it. Cover and let rise for another 30 minutes.

Step 11

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the bread for 35-40 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.

Step 12

While the bread is baking, prepare the glaze by whisking together powdered sugar, milk or cream, and vanilla extract until smooth.

Step 13

Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool for about 10 minutes in the pan before transferring it to a wire rack.

Step 14

Drizzle the glaze generously over the bread, serve warm, and enjoy!
