Description
A sweet, soft bread with layers of apple and cinnamon filling, suitable for vegans.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup warm plant milk (about 105-115°F)
- 2 1/4 teaspoons active dry yeast
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar plus 1 tablespoon for yeast
- 1/4 cup vegan butter, melted
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 large apple, peeled, cored, and finely diced
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 1/4 cup vegan butter, softened (for filling)
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar (for glaze)
- 2 tablespoons plant milk (for glaze)
Instructions
- Combine warm plant milk, yeast, and 1 tablespoon of sugar in a bowl. Let stand for 5-10 minutes until foamy.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour and salt.
- Add the melted vegan butter and the yeast mixture to the dry ingredients. Mix until a shaggy dough forms.
- Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for 5-7 minutes until smooth. Place in a greased bowl, cover, and let rise in a warm place for 1 hour, or until doubled.
- While the dough rises, prepare the filling: Mix the diced apple, brown sugar, and cinnamon in a small bowl.
- Punch down the risen dough. Roll it out into a large rectangle, about 1/4 inch thick.
- Spread the softened vegan butter evenly over the dough surface. Sprinkle the apple-cinnamon mixture over the butter.
- Cut the dough rectangle into strips about 1 inch wide. Stack the strips on top of each other.
- Cut the stack of strips crosswise into 1-inch pieces.
- Arrange the pieces vertically in a greased 9×5 inch loaf pan, packing them closely together.
- Cover the loaf pan and let it rise again for 30 minutes. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) during this time.
- Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.
- Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes before inverting onto a wire rack.
- Whisk together the powdered sugar and 2 tablespoons of plant milk to create a thin glaze. Drizzle over the warm bread.
Notes
- If you prefer a thicker glaze, use less plant milk.
- You can use any firm apple variety for the filling.
- Ensure your plant milk is not too hot, or it will kill the yeast.
