Ingredients
Dough
1 1/2 cups dairy-free milk + more for greasing
2 tbsp dairy-free butter
1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
3 1/2 cups flour + more for dusting
1/4 cup caster sugar
2 tsp dry yeast
1 tsp cinnamon
1/4 tsp nutmeg
Filling
3 apples (green or red)
1 cup sultanas
1 tsp dairy-free butter
3 tbsp brown sugar
3 tbsp water
1 tsp cinnamon
Pinch of salt
Glaze
1 tbsp caster sugar
1 tbsp boiling water
Method
To make the dough:
Place the milk and butter in a small saucepan and heat until the butter is melted. Turn off the heat and stir in the apple cider vinegar. Let it sit until it is just warm
Mix all the dry ingredients in a large bowl. Make a well in the middle and add the warm milk mixture. Mix well until it forms a sticky dough
Flour a clean surface and tip out the dough. Knead for five minutes (dusting with more flour if necessary) until you have a soft, bouncy ball of dough
Grease a bowl and add the dough. Cover with a tea towel and let it rise for 1 hour
To make the filling:
Peel and finely chop the apples into small cubes
In a saucepan, over a medium heat, add the water and sugar. Mix until dissolved. Then add the butter and mix until completely melted
Now add the apples, sultanas, cinnamon and salt, and cook for 10 minutes (or until the apples have softened) stirring constantly
Turn the heat off and set aside
To form the loaf:
Preheat the oven to 180 degrees. Grease a medium sized cake tray and set aside
Tip the dough out on a floured surface. Roll out into a rectangular shape until it's around 1 cm thick
Once the filling mixture has cooled, spread evenly across the dough
Form a long log by gently rolling lengthways. Then cut the log in half, lengthways, exposing the layers
Place the two halves sideways and make a twist by overlapping one side over the other. Then coil the twist in a circle and gently place in the greased cake tray
Mix the glaze ingredients together and brush over the formed loaf
Place in the oven and cook for 30 mins or until golden brown. Brush over the glaze again and serve!
