Apple Swirls Recipes

CRANBERRY APPLE SWIRL BREAD

Steps:

• Combine 2 cups flour and yeast in a large mixing bowl.
• Place milk, sugar, butter, and salt in a saucepan over medium-low heat. Stir until milk reaches 120 to 130 degrees F (50 to 55 degrees C) and butter almost melts, about 5 minutes.
• Add warm milk to the flour mixture along with apple and eggs. Beat with an electric mixer on low speed for 30 seconds, scraping the sides of the bowl constantly. Beat on high speed for 3 minutes. Stir in as much of the remaining flour as you can using a wooden spoon.
• Turn dough out onto a floured surface. Knead in enough of the remaining flour to make a moderately stiff dough that is smooth and elastic, 6 to 8 minutes.
• Shape dough into a ball. Place dough in a lightly greased bowl; turn once to grease the surface. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1 hour.
• Meanwhile, combine cranberries, sugar, and water in a small saucepan. Cook until cranberries pop, about 15 minutes. Stir in walnuts, butter, and lemon juice. Remove from heat and let cool.
• Punch dough down. Turn out onto a lightly floured surface; divide in half. Cover and let rest for 10 minutes. Grease two 9x5-inch loaf pans.
• Roll 1/2 of the dough into a 14x9-inch rectangle. Spread 1/2 of the cranberry filling on top. Roll up both sides towards the center, starting from the short ends. Place loaf, rolled side-up, in a prepared pan. Repeat with remaining dough and filling. Cover loaves and let rise until doubled, about 45 minutes.
• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
• Bake in the preheated oven until tops are golden brown and sound hollow when tapped with your fingers, about 30 minutes. Transfer to wire racks to cool.
• Mix powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract to make glaze. Drizzle glaze over cooled loaves.

• Pour milk mixture over flour mixture. Add shredded apple, eggs, and maple flavoring. Beat with an electric mixer on medium-low speed for 30 seconds, scraping the sides of the bowl constantly. Increase speed to high and beat for 3 minutes. Stir in as much of the remaining flour with a wooden spoon as you can.
• Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Knead in enough of the remaining flour to make a moderately stiff dough that is smooth and elastic, 6 to 8 minutes. Shape into a ball.
• Place dough in a lightly greased bowl. Turn once to grease the surface. Cover; let rise in a warm place until doubled in size, about 45 minutes.
• Turn dough out on a lightly floured surface. Divide in half; cover and let rest for 10 minutes.
• Meanwhile, combine chopped apple, walnuts, brown sugar, and cinnamon for the filling.
• Lightly grease two 9x5-inch loaf pans. Roll 1 dough half into a 9x14-inch rectangle. Spread 1/2 of the softened butter on top; sprinkle with 1/2 of the filling. Roll each short end up towards the center. Place loaf, rolled side-up in 1 loaf pan. Repeat with remaining dough, butter, and filling.
• Cover loaves and let rise until almost doubled in size, about 30 minutes.
• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
• Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown and bottoms sound hollow when tapped, about 30 minutes. Cover loaves loosely with foil during the last 15 minutes to prevent overbrowning, if necessary. Remove from the pans and cool on wire racks.
• Combine powdered sugar, maple syrup, milk, and maple flavoring to make glaze. Drizzle over cooled loaves.

APPLE SWIRLS

Steps:

• For the yeast dough heat the milk in a small saucepan at low heat. Add 70 g of butter.
• Combine flour, dry active yeast and 30 g sugar in a bowl and mix using a whisk. Add the lukewarm butter-milk-mixture. Using the dough hooks knead into a smooth dough (first on low power than on highest power). Takes approximately 5 minutes.
• Cover and set aside for 40 mins to allow the dough to rise.
• For the filling peel the apples and cut into pieces of 1/2 cm.
• Melt 30 g butter in a saucepan. Add apples, 50 g sugar and cinnamon. Bring to a boil, cover and simmer for approximately 5 mins on low heat. Allow to cool.
• Sprinkle the dough and your working surface with flour. Knead dough again and roll out into a rectangel of approximately 32 by 40 cm. Spread with the apple-mixture (if your apples are very moist, hold back any excess liquid). Be careful to leave a rim of 2 cm on the shorter sides.
• Roll up the dough starting at the shorter side.
• Slice the roll into 8 slices. Place them onto a lined baking sheet. Cover, place in warm surroundings and allow to rise for 15 minutes.
• Spread the swirls with milk, sprinkle with sugar and bake in the preheated oven at 200 °C for 25 minutes.
