Ingredients

  • FILLING:
  • 2-1/4 cups all-purpose flour, divided
  • 1 package (1/4 ounce) quick-rise yeast
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2/3 cup water
  • 1/4 cup butter
  • 4 cups thinly sliced peeled tart apples (about 2-3 medium)
  • 1/3 cup sugar
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • TOPPING:
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • 4 teaspoons sugar
  • Directions:
  • ●In a large bowl, combine 1 cup flour, yeast, sugar and salt.
  • ●In a saucepan, heat the water and butter to 120 degrees-130 degrees. Add to the dry ingredients; beat just until moistened. Stir in enough remaining flour to form a soft dough.
  • ●Turn onto a floured surface; knead until smooth and elastic, about 6-8 minutes. Cover and let rest for 10 minutes.
  • ●Divide dough into four portions. Roll each portion into an 8-in. square. Cut into four 4-in. squares.
  • ●Toss apple slices with sugar, flour and cinnamon. Place 1/4 cup filling on each square; bring up the corners up over the filling and pinch to seal. ●Secure with a toothpick if needed.
  • ●Place 3 in. apart on baking sheets coated with cooking spray.
  • ●Cover and let rise in a warm place for 30 minutes. Brush with milk; sprinkle with sugar.
  • ●Bake at 375 degrees for 12-14 minutes or until golden brown. Remove to wire racks. Discard toothpicks.
