Cinnamon-Apple Twist Bread

Twist bread reminds me of the baked goods of my childhood. Every week, my grandmother would buy sweet glazed braided loaves filled with sweet apple and nuts from the local Jewish bakery. This Cinnamon-Apple Twist Bread brings back so many delicious memories. It also makes me miss my grandmother. So much.

Aside from a brunch option, a slice of this glazed goodness stuffed with sweet and nutty cinnamon flavor is also a perfect companion to a cup of coffee or tea.

The recipe calls for a cup of pecans or walnuts. I used half a cup of each. However, you can leave the nuts out entirely if you like.

This Cinnamon-Apple Twist Bread does take quite a bit of time to create. There are three separate resting periods for the dough. However, there is a choice to form the loaves and place them in the fridge to rise,  bake, and glaze the next morning. However, if you plan ahead and weave the steps into your daily routine, you’ll be done in no time.

The steps themselves are quite simple. As usual, in addition to the recipe, King Arthur Flour provides a step-by-step that holds your hand and walks you through the entire process from start to finish.

filling
You can easily switch up the filling to pear. Quince would also be a lovely choice.
