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)

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine 3 cups of flour, sugar, salt, and yeast. Mix well.

Step 2

In a small saucepan, heat milk and butter over low heat until butter is melted. Let cool slightly to about 110°F-115°F.

Step 3

Add the warm milk mixture to the dry ingredients and mix. Add in the egg and continue mixing until a soft dough forms.

Step 4

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.

Step 5

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.

Step 6

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.

Step 7

Punch down the dough and roll it out on a floured surface into a large rectangle, about 12x18 inches.

Step 8

Spread the apple-cinnamon filling evenly over the dough, leaving a 1-inch border around the edges.

Step 9

Roll the dough tightly into a log, starting from the long side, and pinch the seam to seal it.

Step 10

Shape the log into a ring and carefully transfer it to a parchment-lined baking sheet. Pinch the ends together to close the ring.

Step 11

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.

Step 12

Cover with a towel and let rise again for 20-30 minutes.

Step 13

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the ring for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through.

Step 14

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.

Step 15

Once the ring is baked, let it cool for 10 minutes, then drizzle the glaze over the top.

Step 16

Serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy!
