Hi all, I’m Rachael from La Fuji Mama and am tickled to have been asked by Jenna to share one of my crazy concoctions here on Eat, Live, Run! Jenna is very brave! I’ve had apples on the brain lately, partially due to these three handsome little fellas sitting on my counter top waiting for me to decide what they would become.
I love a good apple pie, but wasn’t really in a pie mood. Then, when I woke up one morning craving homemade bread, inspiration struck. Apples + Homemade Bread = An Apple Braid! So I sliced up the apples into pieces,
tossed them with cinnamon, sugar, and lemon juice and threw them in the oven to start cooking while I made the dough for the braid.
When the dough was ready, I rolled it out into a big rectangle, then cut each side into strips. Next I spread the apple filling down the uncut center of the dough, and then crisscrossed the strips of dough over the filling to create a braided effect.
The finished braid went onto a baking sheet into the oven until it was a nice light golden brown. Then I brushed a vanilla cream glaze over the hot braid and set the braid aside to finish cooling. This was the hard part—waiting for the braid to cool. But it’s worth the wait, because the glaze will have time to set a bit, and the filling will have time to cool so that you don’t burn your tastebuds off trying to eat a slice!
The whole process is much more enjoyable if you have a sous chef to help out.
Plus, then you also have someone around to help you eat when you finally get to slice into the braid! The cinnamon apple filling encased in a soft, lightly sweet bread with the vanilla cream glaze is like a cross between a doughnut and an apple pie. I don’t know about you, but that combination makes me a happy girl!
Apple Braid
Makes 1 bread (approximately 12 servings)
For the Apple Filling
3 medium-size Granny Smith apples
3 tablespoons granulated sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon
2 teaspoons lemon juice
For the Bread
2 1/2 cups bread flour
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1 tablespoon instant yeast (I prefer SAF Instant Yeast)
3/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup warm water
2 1/4 teaspoons vegetable oil
For the Glaze:
1/3 cup confectioner’s sugar, sifted
5 teaspoons whipping cream
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Pinch of kosher salt
Pinch of nutmeg
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
Make the Apple Filling: Peel, core, and slice the apples into thin slices, then cut the slices in half. Toss the apple pieces with the sugar, cinnamon, and lemon juice. Bake the apple filling in an 8-inch square baking pan (or 9-inch pie tin) for 15 minutes. Remove from the oven and set aside. (Note: Do not turn the oven off at this point. You will be using it to bake the finished braid.)
Make the Bread: While the apple filling is baking, begin preparing the bread dough. Mix the dry ingredients together in a large mixing bowl. Add the water and oil and mix the dough for 6 minutes using an electric mixer on medium-high speed.
Spray a smooth clean surface with cooking spray and turn the dough out onto the surface. Knead the dough briefly to give it a smooth surface (this will only take several turns of the dough to accomplish). Spray a rolling pin with cooking spray and roll the dough out into a large rectangle, about 12-inches by 16-inches in size. Lift onto a greased baking sheet.
Using a pizza cutter or sharp knife, cut each side into strips about 1-inch wide down each side, leaving the center third of the dough uncut. Spread the apple filling down the middle third of the dough. Fold strips of dough into the center, crisscrossing the filling by alternating strips from each side. Lightly press ends to seal, and straighten out the braid with your hands, if necessary, to straighten.
Bake the braid in the oven for 25 minutes, or until golden brown. Remove from the oven and let the braid cool for several minutes.
Make the Glaze: Whisk together the glaze ingredients in a small bowl until blended and smooth.
Brush the glaze in a thick coat over the entire surface of the apple braid while it is still cooling. Carefully transfer the braid to a cooling rack set on a baking sheet (to catch drips) to finish cooling and prevent the bottom of the braid from becoming soggy from sitting in any pooling glaze. Slice and serve.

Angela (Oh She Glows)
April 19, 2011 at 5:50 amWow this is stunning! I have always wanted to learn how to make a braided bread. I just might have to try soon. 🙂
I’m sure it would work with all kinds of fruit too.
Fuji Mama
April 19, 2011 at 11:20 amThank you Angela! Yes, it works fabulously with other fruits as well as savory fillings. (Just make sure to decrease the sugar amount in the dough to about 1 tablespoon. You can also take it out completely and replace it with dried herbs for flavor!)
Hannah (Culture Connoisseur)
April 19, 2011 at 5:57 amSo that’s how you make a braid! I always wondered and thought it was so much more complicated than that. After this post I am filled with confidence! And once I make this I will be filled with apple braid! 🙂
Amy
November 2, 2012 at 6:33 pmBraided bread IS more complicated than that. This is just an easy alternative that works because of the filling.

August 9, 2012 at 7:16 pmI loved butter braids! Just so expensive. But my mother would end up buying 10-15 of them an keeping them in te freezer or when family visited. I think there might still be some in her freezer actually an I graduated in 2009.

Laura @ Sprint 2 the Table
April 19, 2011 at 9:38 amThis is gorgeous! I’m so impressed by “pretty” breads. Have you tried it with other fruits or as a savory side?
Fuji Mama
April 19, 2011 at 11:18 amLaura– Thank you! Yes, this recipe works really well with other fillings. Almost any pie filling will work. Just make sure the filling isn’t too wet, otherwise you’ll have problems with it leaking. Savory fillings are absolutely delicious as well. Just decrease the amount of sugar in the bread dough to 1 tablespoon. You can also add dried herbs to the bread dough. Pizza toppings work really well as savory fillings with this recipe! Instead of the glaze, just brush some butter over the braid when it comes out of the oven!
John
September 25, 2014 at 10:49 amThis looks so good! and thanks for the extra comments Fuji Mama, which make the recipe possibilities almost endless! 🙂
Danielle
April 19, 2011 at 9:41 amLooks delicious!!! Thanks for sharing.
Jessica
April 19, 2011 at 9:46 amDo you mix with the dough hook or paddle attachment? Sorry if this is an obvious answer!
Fuji Mama
April 19, 2011 at 11:15 amJessica,
Usually when I’m making bread dough in a stand mixer I use the dough hook. However this recipe works just fine with the paddle as long as you use a slightly higher speed on your mixer. If you want to use your dough hook, use your paddle for the first minute of mixing the dough together. Then switch it out for the dough hook and finish the last 5 minutes!
Jessica
April 19, 2011 at 12:08 pmThanks!! 🙂

April 19, 2011 at 1:17 pmI love the idea of bread, as opposed to pastry. I’m thinking that raisins might also be a nice addition. Great idea – thanks!
Laura
April 19, 2011 at 1:28 pmYum! I make something similar to this, only with a savoury curried potato filling. It comes out like a giant samosa! 🙂

May 28, 2011 at 10:21 pmThis looks great, but for me it was pretty hard! I didn’t know that “warm” water meant at least 100 degrees. I only found that out thanks to the yeast package. I had to try to make it twice. When I finally got it to be a doughy consistency, it was so sticky that I couldn’t make it a braid, it was more like a load. I do have to say that the icing is so delicious! It has yet to come out of the over, but hopefully it still tastes yummy! 🙂 Maybe, with a little more practice I can perfect it!

Andrea McNamara
August 29, 2011 at 8:54 amJust had a big slice of this–it’s great. Very easy to make, and the bread is perfect in terms of doughy-ness. I made sure to cover every visible part of the bread with the glaze. That way there isn’t a bit of dry bread at all. I will definitely make this again.

Since I have zero luck with making my own bread, I used pizza dough for the bread. Adding the Vanilla glaze made the dough sweet and wonderful. Got tons of compliments on how pretty it was. This will be a go-to for potlucks. What a nice treat.
Kristi
November 22, 2011 at 4:04 pmThis was really easy, but I agree why the yeast if you don’t let it rise? Next time I make it, I’ll let it rise after I braid it before I put it in the oven.

Bethany Printup
February 18, 2012 at 6:06 amLove this!! I’ve made something similar to this before, just not in the same layout as yours with the braided bread. I’m always in an apple pie mood, haha, but don’t always feel up to putting the pie crust together, rolling out 2 crusts and carefully trying to put it in the pie tin and pinching the crust together. I wonder if a pie crust braid would work. If not, oh well.. it’s still delicioso!

March 2, 2012 at 9:17 amI used to make a recipe similar to this in the restaurant I worked in. I had found it in a “French” cook book and when I started working elsewhere I forgot the recipe. I am so glad to find something similar, it always went over well!

Sarah M
March 3, 2012 at 4:43 pmLOVE this recipe! I just made it today for a dessert.
It was really simple, and a lot of fun for me! I made some minor adjustments to what I had available to me.
I used regular all-purpose flour because we were lacking in bread flour. Vanilla coffee creamer in place of whipping cream, and I used flour for when I was rolling the dough out.
The whole thing came together very well. It was quick and easy, but oh so delicious!
I’m not that experienced in the kitchen- in fact, I would say this is my second recipe I’ve made by myself, aside from regular breakfast meals. I’m very proud of it! I’ll definitely be making this again!

August 14, 2012 at 8:48 pmThis reminds me of a recipe my mother got from pampered chef and has become a staple recipe. However we used crescent rolls, two containers, leaving them in sheets and pressing the seams together to create on large rectangle. You just cut the edges as shown above and fill ( the pampered chef recipe has a Philly cheesesteak filling consisting of cooked thin Philly steak meat, onion, green peppers, a lil salt & pepper, and mozzarella cheese) I thought the crescent may work in this recipe and save time. I’m thinking there a lot of different fillings that could be used, maybe a pot pie type filling or hot ham and cheese.

August 23, 2012 at 9:42 amI just made it, except I cooked my apples on the stove top, and I had a little bit of a hard time moving the braid over to the baking dish I was using without it tearing. What’s the best to move it over without the tearing?

September 18, 2012 at 1:42 pmstupid question here!! What is bread flour? Is that self rising? I am pretty new at baking so if this is a silly question that gets some good laughs I am sorry but could really use the help lol. I have two little helpers who want to make this with peaches, have you ever tried them?
jenna
September 18, 2012 at 3:56 pmBread flour is different than self rising flour. Bread flour has more gluten (protein) in it, which makes it better for breads. Self rising flour has baking powder in it—not what you want to use unless a recipe specifically calls for it!
Karen
November 18, 2012 at 9:20 amNo question is stupid….You can find bread flour in any store…there is regular flour and bread flour…it says on the package….I believe rises better, but one always uses yeast when making anyway…

Amy
September 25, 2012 at 11:56 amI make a couple of savory versions of this and can’t wait to try your sweet version. For all the yeast questions, the braid will be a little fluffier if you let it rise for 20 minutes or so before putting it the oven. Your water needs to be very warm to activate the yeast. I turn the hot sink water on and wait until it comes out steamy. For the savory version (we call it Hero Loaf) we use 4 oz. salami, 4 oz. provolone, and 8 oz. thin sliced ham. Another version (Super Hero Loaf) is 4 oz. provolone, roasted red peppers (I buy them in the jar, drain and dice about 2/3rds of the jar), and 8 oz. smoked turkey breast. We brush on eggwhite and sprinkle with sesame seeds before baking. Yum! Remember to reduce your sugar to a Tablespoon for the savory version. I never thought to add herbs to the dough, I’m going to try that too. These versions freeze VERY well! I often make 3 at a time and freeze 2 for later. From frozen, thaw on counter for 3 to 4 hours, bake @ 400 degrees for 25 minutes. We serve it with Italian dressing to dip it in.
Meg
September 25, 2012 at 2:58 pmI had it all set. The apples on the stove, the dough in a bowl on the counter, oven preheated. Things were feeling a little sticky, so I sprinkled in some extra flour while kneading. When it came time to spray the counter before rolling it out, I reached up into my pantry – with all of my 5 foot 1 inches – but the white wine vinegar and balsamic were in the way and I couldn’t quite reach the cooking spray. So I figured I’d just skip that step, and it would be fine, right? And perhaps this would’ve been the case if I could afford to keep the A/C at a temperature below 82 degrees. But no, fine is not the word I would use to describe the gigantic blob that is currently in my oven. It looks kind of like one of those big lumpy worms in the movie Tremors. Which is probably understandable, since my brilliant plan to peel it off of my counter involved ninjaing a cutting board covered in olive oil under the loaf and transferring the smooshed lump to a pan. But hey – it will taste the same, right? …. lesson learned.

September 25, 2012 at 7:57 pmThe 21 most ridiculous Apple Maps fails
http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_maxbzmTUUO1rhd1v6o1_1280.jpg
Apple’s software upgrades are usually welcomed with much hullabaloo. iOS 6 was treated no differently, until (cue horror music) the company announced that its new mobile operating system would no longer feature a baked-in version of Google Maps.
So when iOS 6 was finally released to the public, you can imagine the disappointment of many Apple fans as they realized that Apple’s new Maps app, powered by TomTom technology, can be pretty ridiculously horrible. In fact, the new service has been so poorly received, there’s now a Tumblr blog devoted to documenting Apple’s mapping fails.
More funny Apple maps is here: epicapplefail.tumblr.com.

November 6, 2012 at 2:22 pmHave you ever tried a braided spaghetti bread? You can make your own bread or just roll out a Pillsbury refrigerated dough loaf. Then cook the pasta of your choice, put it on the already fringed dough rectangle, cover with sauce and shredded mozzarella. Braid it like it says above, and brush with a mixture of egg white, oregano, parmesan cheese, garlic and parsley. Bake for thirty to thirty five minutes at three fifty and you’re good to go! It’s just like spaghetti inside of garlic bread.

November 22, 2012 at 6:17 pmJust made this for thanksgiving. It turned out OK. For some reason my dough didn’t rise at all, no idea why. The dough seemed very elastic, I’m not sure if it’s supposed to be that way. (I’m not a very prolific bread maker) Other than that it was very tasty though.

After baking, it tastes amazing….just flat. Any ideas what I coud have done wrong?

May 26, 2013 at 12:34 pmI actually tried this with large flower tortillas and browned them in a cast iron skillet rather than heating up the kitchen with the over. Worked great! The only down side was you have to eat them while they are still warm as they got chewy as they cooled. Next time I’m going to add some queso fresco to the stuffing.

October 4, 2014 at 8:52 amam I correct to understand that you mix the dry yeast in with the other ingredients? Then add the oil and water? I always thought yeast was separate? I don’t make bread cause it scares me lol.. So thought I would ask? It looks great and simple enough I might try!! Thanks

October 5, 2014 at 12:17 pmThis turned out really pretty, but I would strongly suggest if you don’t have a stand-up electric mixer like a Kitchen-aid, mix the dough by hand. Our hand mixer, though it’s pretty hardy, got really, really hot, and I had to finish making the dough by hand. Our 8 yr old daughter also loved to help braid, and of course, eat the yummy result 🙂
