Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method

-------- ------------ --------------------------------

1 package active dry yeast

3/4 cup warm skim milk -- (110-115 degrees)

6 tablespoons granulated sugar -- divided

4 tablespoons margarine -- divided

1 egg

2 cups all-purpose flour -- up to 3

3/4 teaspoon salt

1 pound tart or sweet baking apples -- peeled and sliced

1/2 cup raisins

1/4 cup light brown sugar

2 tablespoons grated orange rind

1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg

2 tablespoons honey -- up to 4

Skim milk -- to seal

 

2 kuchens (8-10 servings each)

 

Use your favorite baking apple, tart or sweet, for this special brunch bread.

 

1. Mix yeast, milk, and 2 tablespoons granulated sugar in large bowl; let

stand 5 minutes. Add 2 tablespoons margarine, egg, 2 cups flour, and salt,

mixing until smooth. Mix in enough remaining flour to make smooth dough.

 

2. Knead dough on floured surface until smooth and elastic, about 5

minutes. Place dough in greased bowl; let rise, covered, in warm place

until double in size, 1 to 1 1/2 hours. Punch down dough.

 

3. Heat remaining 2 tablespoons margarine in large skillet until melted;

add apples and cook over medium heat until apples are tender, 5 to 8

minutes. Stir in raisins; remove from heat. Mix brown sugar, orange rind,

cinnamon, and nutmeg sprinkle over apple mixture and toss.

 

4. Divide dough into 2 equal pieces. Roll each piece of dough on floured

surface into 12-inch round. Arrange apple mixture on half of each round;

drizzle each with 1 to 2 tablespoons honey. Brush edges of dough with

milk; fold dough over filling and press edges with tines of fork to seal.

 

5. Transfer kuchens to greased cookie sheets; sprinkle with remaining 4

tablespoons granulated sugar. Let rise, loosely covered, until impression

of finger remains in dough when touched, about 1 hour. Reseal edges of

kuchens, if necessary.

 

6. Bake kuchens at 375 degrees until golden, about 20 minutes. Slide onto

wire racks to cool; serve warm.
