It’s no secret that cinnamon, sugar, and apples go together like a horse and carriage. The following recipe highlights this match made in heaven but adds a little more texture and oomph to the proceedings. That’s right – we’re making sweet apple dumpling pull-apart bread in a skillet, and once it’s done, we’re sprinkling it with chopped pistachios for that extra bit of crunch. You can have this for breakfast or dessert or really any time of day – it’s that delicious!
Apple Dumpling Pull-Apart Bread
Equipment
- Skillet
- Bowl
Ingredients
- 2/3 cup warm milk
- 1 tsp dry yeast
- 2 tbsp sugar
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 egg
- 1 tbsp Greek yogurt
- 3 tbsp butter, melted
- 3 1/3 cups flour
- 3 apples
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon
- 1/3 cup milk
- chopped pistachios
- maple syrup
Instructions
- Add the flour, dry yeast, sugar, salt, egg, butter, Greek yogurt, and milk to a bowl and knead everything together. Cover the dough and let rise in a warm place for about 1 hour.
- Roll out the dough and cut out 10 circles (about 4-inch diameter) with a glass. Set the remaining dough aside for now.
- Preheat the oven to 350°F and cut the apples into large slices. Mix the sugar and cinnamon and roll the apples in it. Caramelize the apples in a pan and then allow them to cool down.
- Place one apple slice on each dough circle and press the edges of the dough together all around.
- Place the stuffed pieces of dough in a lightly greased skillet (about 12-inch diameter). Form the rest of the dough into one large and several smaller balls and place them between the apple dumplings in the skillet.
- Whisk the egg yolk and milk together and brush the egg wash over the dough in the pan. Transfer the pan to the oven and bake for 30 minutes.
- If you're feeling a little fancy-schmancy, you can also brush your pull-apart apple bread with maple syrup once it's done baking, yet still warm. Then just sprinkle a bunch of chopped pistachios on top and serve with vanilla sauce for dipping – perfection!
