Yeasted Apple Streusel Swirl Bread

Ingredients

Bread:
• 1/2 cup warm milk
• 2 teaspoons active dry yeast
• 1 egg
• 1/4 cup white sugar
• 1/2 teaspoons salt
• 2 1/2 tablespoons butter, melted
• 2 1/4 flour
Streusel:
• 1/2 cup (1 stick) butter
• 1/2 cup brown sugar
• 1/4 sugar
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
• 1 1/4 cups flour
Apple Filling:
• 2 small apples, peeled, cored, and diced
• 1/4 cup brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon cinnamon, plus more to taste
• 2 tablespoons butter

Instructions

1. Dissolve yeast in milk and allow to sit for about 5 minutes until bubbly. Pour into a large mixing bowl and beat in egg and sugar. Stir in butter, salt, then flour until your dough comes together.
2. Turn out onto lightly floured surface and knead for about 5 minutes. Place in a greased bowl, cover with damp towel, and place in warm place to rise until doubled in size.
3. While dough is rising make steusel. Cream butter and sugars until smooth. Add remaining ingredients and mix until well combined. Set aside.
4. Now heat a medium skillet over medium heat and add ingredients for apple filling. Saute until apples are very tender, about 6 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
5. When dough is ready, grease a regular size loaf pan with oil. Roll out dough on lightly floured surface into a rectangle roughly 8 x14 inches. Sprinkle apple mixture over dough, followed by half of the streusel, then a dusting of cinnamon to taste. Roll (short end) from one side to the other and place, crease side down in loaf pan. Crumble remaining streusel over bread and place in a warm place to rise while oven preheats. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (180 C)
6. Bake for 45 - 55 minutes until golden. Cool for at least 15 minutes before cutting.
