Whereas the dough is rising, make the apple filling. First you’ll combine every little thing by the apples in order that it’s all evenly combined and can coat the apples evenly. Then peel and coarsely grate or finely chop your two apples. I used Jonagold, however you would use Granny Smith, Braeburn, or actually no matter you have got readily available. And whether or not you chop or grate is as much as you – grating is less complicated, however when you prefer to have extra chunky apple items it’s good to cut them. Combine the apples into the spice combination till effectively coated and set the combination apart.

After rising this primary time, punch the dough down and cut up it in half. Put the primary half on a floured floor to roll out with a rolling pin. Roll the dough right into a rectangle, roughly 14 x 10 inches. Unfold half the apple combine all around the rectangle, simply leaving an inch clear on the 2 lengthy edges.

Pinch the tip collectively and tuck it below in order that it seems good.

Repeat with the second half of the dough. Cowl each loaves flippantly with plastic wrap and permit to rise for an additional hour or so, till doubled. Lastly, brush with egg wash after which bake at 350* F for about 40 minutes, or till golden brown and hole sounding when tapped.
