Apple Challah

This is a bread I only do in apple season when the apples are the freshest. I like to bake with the whitest of cortland apples.

Recipe

(done in my bread machine or kitchenAid  mixer)

1/3 C water
1/4C apple juice or cider

1/2  tsp salt

2 eggs

3C bread flour

2tsp instant yeast

2tbs honey

3tbs butter
1tbs instant yeast

When dough has risen once ....

Chop 2 medium apples and sprinkle with cinnamon sugar.
(you do not need to peel the apples )

flatten dough into a rough rectangle and spread half of the apples on one side. fold over the edge and repeat on the other side.

you will now bake this at 350 for about 25-35 min.

of course the next thing is to wait for this to cool....

Then eat!
