For the apples:
- 3 apples (approximately 3½ cups) peeled and diced into ½" chunks
- 2 teaspoons lemon juice
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- pinch salt
- ⅛ teaspoon nutmeg
For the dough:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- ¼ cup sugar
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ⅛ teaspoon grated nutmeg
- 1 package (2¼ teaspoons) active dry yeast
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 4 tablespoons butter melted
- 3 tablespoons honey
- ½ cup milk
- 2 large eggs
- confectioners sugar optional
To make the dough:
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, yeast, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
In a small bowl heat butter and honey to warm. Add the milk and eggs and whisk to combine.
Stir well with a wooden spoon until the ingredients are completely incorporated.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and allow the dough to rise (it will not quite double in volume) for 60 minutes in a warm (not hot) place.
To make the apples:
Place all the ingredients in a medium bowl, stir well and set aside.
After the first rise, uncover the dough and deflate by gently stirring once or twice.
Spoon half of the dough into a prepared loaf pan which has been sprayed liberally with baking spray.
Top the layer of dough with half of the prepared diced apples (draining the apples first if there is excessive liquid in the bowl).
Top the apples with the remaining dough and top the second layer of dough with the remaining apples.
Allow the bread to rise again in a warm, draft-free place for 50 - 60 minutes.
To bake the bread:
Preheat the oven to 350-degrees Fahrenheit.
Place the loaf pan on a baking sheet and bake in a preheated oven for 70-90 minutes, or until a pick or skewer inserted in the center comes out clean.
Place the loaf pan on a cooling rack for 30 minutes, and then turn the loaf out of the pan and cool completely before slicing.
May be frozen after baking. Wrap well and freeze for up to 2 months.
Store any leftovers in the refrigerator, wrapped well, for up to 5 days.
