BEST BREAD EVER~!

What you’ll need:

1.5 qt. loaf pan

1 can of Lucky Leaf Apple Pie Filling and Topping

1 package of refrigerated pie crust

2 cups self-rising flour

1 cup milk

1-8oz. cream cheese

1 tsp. cinnamon

1 tsp. apple pie spice

1 tsp. nutmeg

1 tsp. cinnamon/sugar

1 egg for egg wash

caramel sauce for topping

Directions:

In a large bowl or food processor, mix up the, cream cheese, milk, cinnamon, nutmeg.. stir to combine…

Now add in the flour…

Add the batter to a bowl, and gently fold in1 cup of the apple pie filling… It will be chancy and that’s what you want.

Add the dough into the non-stick sprayed pan, pressing it down so it’s even.

Bake at 350 degrees for approx. 15 minutes, or just until it’s starting to firm up.

While it bakes, prepare your lattice top…

..simply by creating a lattice with the pie crust as you would for any apple pie…set aside…

Now remove the bread and top it with the remaining apple pie filling…

Cover the entire top with the remaining apple pie topping…

Gently place the prepared lattice over the bread, trimming away any over-hanging edges so they don’t burn…

Brush the top with the egg wash…

…and sprinkle it with the cinnamon sugar…

Bake it again at 350 for approx. 12 minutes, or so..just to get that lattice to a golden brown color.

Let it cool completely before removing it from the pan…

Then you can slice it up and serve it with a nice drizzle of caramel..

..because..YUM!  ~Serve with some ice cream!  ~Enjoy!  🙂
