Although the first snow has fallen outside, the apple season is not over yet. Apples in the markets are very cheap, and many people still have autumn supplies of garden apples. Therefore, this wonderful and easy-to-prepare recipe will be, by the way, for a Sunday dessert for tea. In such a apple braid You can add cinnamon to taste and prunes, the combination is wonderful, but my favorite taster doesn’t respect cinnamon, so my braid is very simple, there’s nothing extra in it, just apples and sugar. It turns out very tasty and juicy.

To prepare you will need:

Filling:

  • Apples - 3 pcs. small.
  • Granulated sugar -4 tbsp. spoons.
  • Breadcrumbs - 1 tbsp. spoon. (Breadcrumbs are needed here to absorb excess moisture from the apples, otherwise the pie will not bake. If there are no breadcrumbs, then starch will work great)

Dough:

  • Flour -250 gr.
  • Dry yeast - 1 teaspoon without a pea.
  • Sugar -2 tbsp. spoons
  • Salt ½ teaspoon.
  • Milk ½ cup.
  • Egg - 1 pc.
  • Butter 50g.

First you need to knead the dough. The milk must be heated until warm; sugar and yeast are dissolved in it. Place the milk in a warm place for 10 minutes so that the yeast is completely dissolved and rises slightly.

Sift flour into a deep cup. The required amount of flour was pre-measured.
You need to make a well in the center of the flour, break the egg into it, add salt and pour in the melted butter. Next, add the yeast and milk and mix everything until smooth.
The dough should turn out like soft plasticine, but it should not stick to your hands. If you think there is not enough flour, you can add it. Once you have kneaded the dough, cover it with cellophane or a cup and let it rise for about an hour.

While the dough is rising, prepare the filling. Peel the apples, cut out the core and cut into small slices.

As soon as the dough has risen, roll it out into a rectangular layer using a rolling pin.

In this case, you need to roll from the core to the edge. Sprinkle bread crumbs in the center, place apples in the center and sprinkle them with sugar.

We make cuts along the edges of the dough, and fold the narrow edges of the dough inward.
Now we braid the strips like a braid.
We transfer our future apple pie to a baking sheet.
I recommend putting parchment paper on top; it should be greased with vegetable or butter.
Brush the top of the dough with whipped whisk to create a golden brown crust. Turn on the oven, and while it heats up, let our cake stand and rise a little. As soon as the oven has warmed up well, send the braid with apples to bake for 20 minutes at a temperature of 180 degrees.

When the time is up, take it out braided bread with apples on yeast dough, cut into portions and serve with tea or coffee.

1 Peel and seed the apples, cut into small slices 1-1.5 cm thick. In a deep frying pan or wok over high heat, melt 3 tablespoons of butter and add ¼ cup of sugar. Add the chopped apples and stir until evenly coated. Add the cranberries and caramelize the mixture for 3 minutes, stirring occasionally. Cook the apples and cranberries for a total of 6-7 minutes, stirring 3-4 times, until the apples are caramelized. Transfer the apples and cranberries to a plate and cool until warm.

2 Place the thawed puff pastry on a dry, floured surface. Using a rolling pin, roll out the dough in one direction to form a rectangle. Place the caramelized filling (apples and cranberries) in the center of the rectangular dough (laid out in front of you along the longest side), leaving 3 cm of dough at the top and bottom. Using scissors, cut off the top corners on the left and right sides of the rectangle.

3 Parallel to the top cuts, cut 8 equal strips 2.5 cm thick on each side, slightly short of the filling (leaving 1.5 cm of dough near the filling on each side). Trim off excess dough at bottom corners.

4 Fold the top of the dough over the fillings and begin to weave the side cut strips, placing them alternately over the filling from left to right. Fold the bottom of the dough over the filling and fold the bottom two remaining strips over the folded edge. You will get a braided pie. Sprinkle ½ tablespoon of sugar on top. Place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake in an oven preheated to 200 C for 18-22 minutes until golden brown.

Let's prepare the filling. Peel the apples, remove the core, and cut into cubes. Melt 30 g of butter in a frying pan, add apples, raisins, cinnamon and 50 g of sugar. Fry until the apples are soft (about 10 minutes). Set aside.

Dissolve yeast in warm milk with sugar. Add melted butter and 2 tbsp. water, stir. Using a mixer at low speed, add about 75 g of flour into this mixture, beat for about 2 minutes. Then add 1 egg and beat again. Add the rest of the flour, knead the dough (knead for 10 minutes on a floured table). Form the dough into a ball, cover and let rest for 10 minutes.

Roll out the dough into a 35*25 cm rectangle. Place the filling in a strip 7-8 cm wide on the central part of the dough.

We cut the remaining area of ​​the rectangle into strips (you can roughly see how in the photo). We bend them in turn on each side over the filling, overlapping each other. It should look like a braid.

Cover the braid and let it stand for 40 minutes in a warm place. The bun should double in volume. Lubricate the surface of the braid with yolk mixed with 1 tbsp. milk. Bake in an oven preheated to 180 degrees for 30 minutes until the braid is browned. Serve chilled.


Enjoy your tea!

Recipe description - Butter braid with apples:

Who doesn't love delicious homemade baked goods? Fluffy, fragrant, airy, golden brown pies, pies, buns, cheesecakes, buns. With tea, milk, coffee, these culinary masterpieces can be a dessert or just a snack at any time of the day. Of course, you shouldn’t get carried away with them, but sometimes you can afford a small piece of this braided line with apples. This recipe is a variant of the classic yeast dough prepared using the straight method, that is, when no dough is used. All ingredients are mixed and the dough rises warm just once. Then you can bake rolls, pies, pies. They say that when the house smells of pies, love, care, peace and tranquility reign in it. So let's bake braided apples.

Butter braid with apples: composition, calorie content and nutritional value per 100 g

To prepare a film with apples, we will need the following products: milk, dry yeast, butter, eggs, salt, sugar, flour, apples.

250 ml
Dry fast-acting yeast
10 g

Let's start preparing the dough. Add a teaspoon of sugar and yeast to warm milk.

After 10-15 minutes the yeast will foam. The quality of your baked goods depends 70 percent on the freshness of the yeast. It may happen that the yeast does not foam. It's not scary. By and large, you can simply mix dry yeast with flour. And then add milk, salt, sugar and baking. This will also make dough. But from my experience I can say absolutely for sure: the pie turns out better when the yeast still “comes to life.”

5 tbsp. l. 0.5 tsp. 70 g

Add salt, sugar and soft butter. We continue to mix.

Chicken egg
2 pcs.

Lightly beat the eggs in a bowl. You will need two eggs for this.

Add beaten eggs to the dough. And we continue to mix all the ingredients thoroughly in a bowl, and then on a table sprinkled with flour. There are no difficulties. The dough works well. And it especially doesn’t stick to the surface.

We get a soft, earlobe-like, elastic dough. Even if it sticks to your hands a little, it's okay. This is better than it being “clogged” with flour. The dough should never be too hard.

Pour some flour into a saucepan or bowl and place the dough. Cover with a dry towel and place in a warm place.
