Directions
In a large mixing bowl, combine 2 cups of flour, sugar, yeast, and salt.
In a small saucepan, heat the butter, milk, and water until warm (about 110°F).
Add the milk mixture to the flour mixture, then add eggs and vanilla extract. Mix until combined.
Gradually add the remaining flour until a soft dough forms. Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 5 minutes until smooth and elastic.
Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover, and let it rise in a warm place until doubled in size, about 1 hour.
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a glass baking dish.
Punch down the dough and roll it out into a large rectangle on a floured surface.
Brush the rolled-out dough with melted butter, then sprinkle with the cinnamon-sugar mixture and chopped apples.
Cut the dough into strips and stack them on top of each other. Cut the stack into smaller sections and arrange them in the prepared baking dish.
Cover and let rise for another 30 minutes.
Bake for 30-35 minutes or until golden brown.
While the bread is baking, prepare the glaze by mixing powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth.
