• FILLING:
  
• 2 c. dry bread crumbs
  
• 1/4 c. butter or margarine, melted
  
• 4 medium baking apples, peeled and chopped
  
• 2 c. sugar
  
• 1 c. golden raisins
  
• 1/2 c. chopped pecans
  
• 2 tsp. ground cinnamon
  
• Confectioners' sugar, optional
  






Instructions



1. In medium bowl, cut butter into flour until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Add the sour cream and salt; mix well. Shape into a ball; cover and refrigerate overnight.
   
   
2. For filling, combine the bread crumbs and butter. Add apples, sugar, raisins, pecans and cinnamon; mix well and set aside.
   
   
3. Divide dough into thirds; turn onto a floured surface. Roll each into a 15-inch by 12-inch rectangle. Spoon filling evenly onto dough; spread to within 1 inch of edges. Roll up from one long side; pinch seams and ends to seal.
   
   
4. Carefully place seam side down on an ungreased baking sheet. Bake at 350 degrees for 55-60 minutes or until light brown. Cool completely on wire racks. Dust with confectioners' sugar, if desired.
   
   
5. Yield: 3 loaves.
