1 cup Water
1 1/2 tsp. SAF® Perfect Rise Yeast
Filling:

2 Tbsp. melted Butter
2 cups Apples peeled, cored, and thinly sliced (approx. 2 apples)
1 cup Walnut pieces, divided
Glaze:

Instructions
Combine yeast, 1 cup bread flour, sugar, salt and yeast; mix well. Heat water, milk and butter to 120º to 130ºF; add to flour mixture. Blend at low speed; beat 3 minutes at medium speed. By hand, gradually stir enough remaining bread flour to make a firm dough. Knead on floured surface 5 to 7 minutes until smooth and elastic. Place dough in lightly oiled bowl; turn to grease top. Cover; let rise until dough tests ripe.
Shaping, Rising and Baking
Punch down dough to remove air bubbles; divide into 2 sections. Let rest 10 minutes. Combine sugar and cinnamon. Roll or pat each section into a 12-x 8-inch rectangle. Brush with melted butter; sprinkle with half of cinnamon mixture. Place apple pieces and walnuts evenly over dough. With a dough scraper or large knife, chop apples, walnuts and cinnamon sugar lightly into the dough until apple slices are about 1/2 -inch and combined into the dough. Dough is very soft and sticky. Carefully lift and place pieces into greased 9-x 5-inch loaf pan. Press dough to fit pan and smooth top. Cover; let rise until almost double in bulk. Bake in a preheated 350ºF oven for 35-40 minutes, until golden brown. Brush with remaining melted butter. Remove from pans; cool on wire rack 10 minutes. Combine glaze ingredients; drizzle on loaves. Delicious served warm.
