Ingredients
Scale
- ¾ cup warm water
- 2 ¼ teaspoons active dried yeast
- ¼ cup melted vegan butter
- ¼ cup sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla bean paste
- 2 ½– 2 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon or apple pie spice
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 2 small red apples peeled and diced
- ⅓ cup sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon or apple pie spice
- ⅓ cup apple butter
- ½ cup powdered sugar
- ½ Tablespoon apple cider
Instructions
- Add the lukewarm water and yeast to a mixing bowl and let sit for 5-10 minutes to activate the yeast. Then, add in the melted vegan butter, sugar, vanilla, and mix together.
- Add the flour, cinnamon, and salt and mix together until a thick yet shaggy dough forms.
- Knead the dough until it is elastic and smooth, about 5-6 minutes with a mixer or 8-10 minutes by hand.
- Form the dough into a round ball, place it in a well-oiled bowl, cover, and let rise for 1 hour.
- While the dough rises, prepare the cinnamon sugar apples by mixing diced apples with sugar and cinnamon.
- Line a loaf pan with parchment paper, divide the dough into 8-9 pieces, flatten each piece, and add apple butter and cinnamon sugar apples. Fold and layer in the pan.
- Cover the pan and let the dough rise for another 30 minutes while preheating the oven to 350F.
- Bake the bread for 45-50 minutes, covering with foil if needed to prevent burning.
- Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Whisk together powdered sugar and apple cider to make the glaze, drizzle over the bread, and serve.
Notes
- Use a kitchen scale for accurate measurements.
- Ensure the yeast is fresh for optimal rising.
- Adjust baking time based on your oven’s performance.
