Recipe: Apple Raisin Thanksgiving Braid with Powdered Sugar Glaze

Breads - Yeast Breads
APPLE RAISIN THANKSGIVING BRAID

"A golden crust and rich and moist crumb with a sweet and juicy apple-raisin-cinnamon filling."

4 to 4 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, divided use
1/2 cup sugar
2 envelopes Fleischmann's RapidRise Yeast
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup water
1/2 cup milk
1/4 cup butter or margarine
2 large eggs
Apple Raisin Filling (recipe follows)
1 egg white
1 tablespoon water
Powdered Sugar Glaze (recipe follows)

In a large bowl, combine 1 cup flour, sugar, undissolved yeast, and salt.

Heat 1/2 cup water, milk and butter until very warm (120 to 130 degrees F). Gradually add to flour mixture. Beat 2 minutes at medium speed of electric mixer, scraping bowl occasionally. Add eggs and 1 cup flour; beat 2 minutes at high speed.

Stir in enough remaining flour to make a soft dough. Knead on lightly floured surface until smooth and elastic, about 8 to 10 minutes. Cover; let rest 10 minutes.

Divide dough in half; roll each half to 14x12-inch rectangle. Transfer to two large greased baking sheets. Spread half of Apple Raisin Filling over a 3-inch strip in center of each dough. With sharp knife, make 3-inch cuts from dough edges at 1-inch intervals along sides of filling. Alternating sides, fold strips at an angle across filling. Cover; let rise in warm, draft-free place until doubled in size, about 1 hour.

WHEN READY TO BAKE:
To make the egg glaze, beat together the egg white and 1 tablespoon water. Brush braid with egg glaze.

Bake at 350 degrees F for 30 to 35 minutes or until done. Remove from sheet; drizzle with Powdered Sugar Glaze. Serve warm.

APPLE RAISIN FILLING

2 tablespoons water
2 cups cooking apples, peeled, cored and chopped
1/2 cup sugar
1 tablespoon corn starch
3/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 cup raisins

In a saucepan, combine water, apples, sugar, corn starch, and cinnamon. Bring to a boil over medium high heat. Cook 5 minutes or until thick, stirring constantly. Remove from heat; stir in raisins. Let cool.

POWDERED SUGAR GLAZE

1 cup powered sugar, sifted
1 to 2 tablespoons milk

In a small bowl, combine powdered sugar and milk. Stir until smooth.
