APPLE DUMPLING PULL-APART BREAD
I converted a basic sweet dough into this incredible apple-filled pull-apart loaf. The results are anything but basic. It takes time, but I guarantee it's worth it. You can choose one of the sauces, but using both is twice as tasty.-Gina Nistico, Milwaukee, WI

Steps:
- In a large bowl (or the bowl of an electric mixer), whisk together the flour, sugar, yeast, and salt. Place the milk and butter in a small heavy-bottomed saucepan and cook over low heat until the butter just melts, 5 to 6 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
- Add the milk mixture to the flour mixture, then add the eggs and vanilla. With the mixer on low, beat until the flour mixture is moistened. Increase the speed to medium and mix until the dough is smooth, about 6 minutes. Scrape the dough down in the bowl to loosen it, cover with plastic wrap and a dishtowel. Set the bowl in a warm place and let the dough rise, for at least an hour and up to two hours.
- While the dough is rising, line a 4½" by 8½" loaf pan with parchment paper, leaving a 3-inch overhang on the long sides. Butter the parchment and the sides of the pan. In a small bowl, combine the brown sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg. In a small saucepan, melt the butter until brown.
- Punch the dough down, then transfer to a lightly floured work surface and roll into a 12" by 18" rectangle. If the dough is sticking, sprinkle the underside with a bit more flour. Arrange the dough so the long side is in front of you. Brush the cooled melted butter over the dough, then sprinkle with the brown sugar mixture.
- Core and cut the apple into ¼" pieces. Place the pieces on a paper towel and press gently with a second paper towel, so some of the moisture is absorbed. Cut the dough crosswise into 6 even strips. Sprinkle 1 strip with some of the apples, gently pressing them into the dough. Top with another strip of dough and more apples; repeat with the remaining strips of dough and apples. Cut the stack into 6 equal portions. Stand the prepared loaf pan on one of its short sides, and arrange the stacks with cut sides facing out (tucking in any fallen apples). Cover and let rise for 20 minutes.
- Heat oven to 350°F. Bake loaf until deep golden brown, about 45-50 minutes. If the top starts to brown before the bread is ready, place a piece of aluminum foil loosely over it to protect it. To make sure the bread is cooked through, insert a cake taster and make sure it comes out dry. Let cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack and let cool for 10 minutes more.
- If desired, drizzle with some caramel sauce and serve.
Tips:
- Choose the right apples: Granny Smith apples are a good choice for this recipe because they hold their shape well and have a tart flavor.
- Peel and core the apples: This will make it easier to slice them and will help them cook evenly.
- Use a sharp knife to slice the apples: This will help prevent them from bruising.
- Don't overcrowd the pan: If you crowd the apples in the pan, they will steam instead of roast.
- Roast the apples until they are tender: The apples should be tender but still hold their shape.
- Let the apples cool slightly before assembling the bread: This will help prevent the bread from becoming soggy.
- Use a sturdy bread dough: This will help the bread hold its shape when it is baked.
- Bake the bread until it is golden brown: The bread should be cooked through and the top should be golden brown.
Conclusion:
Apple pull-apart bread is a delicious and easy-to-make treat. It is perfect for breakfast, brunch, or dessert. The apples give the bread a sweet and tart flavor, and the cinnamon and sugar add a warm and cozy spice. This bread is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
