Apples showing up in Fall means we’ll start the long transition to cooler weather.  Apple and pumpkin recipes are popping up everywhere.  I even asked all of you what you’d like to see next, either pumpkin streusel muffins or this apple pull apart bread.  And DANG.  Apple kicked some serious butt leave the poor pumpkin muffins in the dust.  But I can’t blame you.  I’ve seen so many version of apple pull apart breads lately on Pinterest.  This is one of those ‘must try’ recipes.  After all, it must be good if everyone else trying it.   <—– peer pressure.  gotta love it, right? 😉

I love fall but always find myself struggling a bit to make that transition.  I feel like I just got the hang of having 2 energetic boys home all Summer.   It’s like we just figured out what to expect, and then things change with school starting.  School is not going to be a picnic in the park, or so I’ve heard.  I’ve been told by the parents of older kids, 2nd grade is hard.  The homework is different and the curriculum also includes first communion and first reconciliation (our school is Catholic)

INSTRUCTIONS

1. Heat ¼ cup of milk of choice to 100 degrees. Add yeast and set aside for until foaming.
2. Mix all dry ingredients for the dough. Combine yeast, melted shortening and remaining milk of choice.
3. Vigorously mix ingredients by hand for 10 minutes or stand mixer for 5 minutes to help activate gum. Cover bowl and let dough rest for 10 minutes. Work on apples while waiting.
4. Wash, peel and core apples. Thinly slice apples into small bite size bits, set aside until needed.
5. Lightly grease a sheet of parchment paper the size of a baking sheet. With greased hands, gently press out dough to form a rectangle approximately 16x20 inches.

7. Slice dough into 6 equal rows lengthwise (right to left) and 4 equal columns width wise (top to bottom)
8. Gently drop apple bits over entire dough in a single layer. (You'll have a little apples left over)
9. Carefully move each square into a 9 x 5 inch bread pan stacking upon one another. For the last end piece, make sure the filling side is down so the it won't stick to the pan. Sprinkle with remaining filling.
