Cooking instructions
* Step 1
You will need:
* Step 2
Preheat oven to 350°F
* Step 3
Peel the apple's, cut in half and de-seed. Then cut into small pieces.
* Step 4
In a medium bowl, toss the apple's with the cinnamon, sugar, and lemon juice until well coated.
* Step 5
Put in a baking dish and bake for 18 minutes. Once done, remove from oven and set aside.
* Step 6
While the filling is baking- start the Dough Braid. In a large mixing bowl sift together the flour, sugar, yeast, and salt.
* Step 7
In another bowl, mix together the food coloring and water, then add the oil. The food coloring is optional. **Note** to make this festive for autumn for Halloween or Autumn mix food coloring to make the dough orange!
* Step 8
Add the liquid ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix on medium-high speed for about 5 minutes.
* Step 9
Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and lightly spray with a non stick spray.
* Step 10
Lightly flour your surface and knead the dough to get a smoother texture.
* Step 11
On the baking sheet, or on a well floured surface roll the dough out length wise into a long rectangle. I recommend doing this on the baking sheet because transferring of the braid will be pretty complicated.
* Step 12
Down the length of the dough, cut one inch strips on both sides, leaving a gap of at least 3 inches in the middle un-cut.
* Step 13
Spread your filling down the center evenly.
* Step 14
Starting at the top, alternately crisscross the cut peices over top of the filling, pinching at the sides to secure it.
* Step 15
Transfer the braid (if needed) to your baking sheet and bake in the oven for 20 minutes.
* Step 16
While this is baking make the Glaze. Sift together the powdered sugar and nutmeg. Then add in the milk and teaspoon of vanilla extract and stir well.
* Step 17
Crush the nuts using a mortar and pestle
* Step 18
Remove the braid from the oven once the time is up and brush the glaze on. Then sprinkle with the nuts.
* Step 19
Return to the oven for 5 minutes.
* Step 20
Remove from the oven and let cool for 10 minutes.
* Step 21
Serve and enjoy! Vanilla Bean ice cream goes great with this.
