In my younger days, I was obsessed with this meal and constantly requested my mom to make it.

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.

Drizzle the glaze over the warm bread before serving.

For a nutty twist, add a handful of chopped walnuts or pecans to the filling. You can also experiment with different types of apples for varying flavors and textures. If you prefer a richer dough, substitute some of the all-purpose flour with bread flour. For a more pronounced spice flavor, consider adding a pinch of nutmeg or cloves to the cinnamon-sugar mixture. To make this recipe vegan, use plant-based milk and butter substitutes, and replace eggs with a flaxseed or chia seed mixture.
