Steps to make Apple Cinnamon Braid:
  1. You will need:
  2. Preheat oven to 350°F
  3. Peel the apple's, cut in half and de-seed. Then cut into small pieces.
  4. In a medium bowl, toss the apple's with the cinnamon, sugar, and lemon juice until well coated.
  5. Put in a baking dish and bake for 18 minutes. Once done, remove from oven and set aside.
  6. While the filling is baking- start the Dough Braid. In a large mixing bowl sift together the flour, sugar, yeast, and salt.
  7. In another bowl, mix together the food coloring and water, then add the oil. The food coloring is optional. Note to make this festive for autumn for Halloween or Autumn mix food coloring to make the dough orange!
  8. Add the liquid ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix on medium-high speed for about 5 minutes.
  9. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and lightly spray with a non stick spray.
  10. Lightly flour your surface and knead the dough to get a smoother texture.
  11. On the baking sheet, or on a well floured surface roll the dough out length wise into a long rectangle. I recommend doing this on the baking sheet because transferring of the braid will be pretty complicated.
  12. Down the length of the dough, cut one inch strips on both sides, leaving a gap of at least 3 inches in the middle un-cut.
  13. Spread your filling down the center evenly.
  14. Starting at the top, alternately crisscross the cut peices over top of the filling, pinching at the sides to secure it.
  15. Transfer the braid (if needed) to your baking sheet and bake in the oven for 20 minutes.
  16. While this is baking make the Glaze. Sift together the powdered sugar and nutmeg. Then add in the milk and teaspoon of vanilla extract and stir well.
  17. Crush the nuts using a mortar and pestle
  18. Remove the braid from the oven once the time is up and brush the glaze on. Then sprinkle with the nuts.
  19. Return to the oven for 5 minutes.
  20. Remove from the oven and let cool for 10 minutes.
  21. Serve and enjoy! Vanilla Bean ice cream goes great with this.
