When Jasmine was visiting over the Fourth of July, we made a patriotic apple pie using her recipe. Not all of our apple filling fit in the pie crust, so I stuck the extra 2 cups or so in the freezer. That very night, I repinned a fantastic way to use up my extra filling, and with apples in season, it makes a great late summer/early fall treat.
This delicious apple braid recipe comes from a guest post on Eat, Live, Run by Rachael of La Fuji Mama. It's basically bread wrapped around apple pie filling (which, of course, I just used my leftover apples for) in a beautiful braid pattern.
To make the braid, you actually cut the sides of the bread in strips (I used a pizza cutter):
Then you put the apples down the middle and wrap the strips over them, alternating sides and pinching to secure. Roll and pinch the ends (mine came undone a bit anyway).
One tip as you do this: count the number of strips you cut on each side. I ended up with 1-2 more strips on one side, and had to "fuse" two strips together so I wouldn't end up with too many. You might even use a ruler to make them all straight and perfect and even.
Then just bake and glaze!
What desserts are you looking forward to this fall? And don't you want a Pinterest invite?

yum! I love using my pinterest ideas!
Me too! I keep meaning to make a board for things I've actually made, to keep them separate. (And renaming the "Things I made" board to "Things I made, then pinned" and having the other board be "Things I pinned, then made.")
I love braided pastries. They look so fancy, but they are so fast and easy.
Oh waoo..like this..thanks for the how-to..great!
