Apple Cinnamon Raisin Bread Twist




The smell of this apple cinnamon goodness baking was amazing!  It filled my house with a smell Yankee Candle only wishes they could recreate! :D  With the start of school and fall upon us, this is a great feel good recipe that you don't have to feel guilty enjoying. Double the dough recipe and make this for an after school snack. Then, use the rest of the dough to make pizza for dinner!

  Ingredients
  • Quick 'n Yummy Pizza Dough Recipe
  • 1/2 cup raisins
  • 1 cup unsweetened apple sauce
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 3 Tbsp Splenda (or your choice of sweetener)
  • 3 Tbsp I can't believe its not butter (Fat Free)


Prepare Quick 'n Yummy Pizza Dough (recipe here). Preheat oven to 400°F. In a small bowl, combine applesauce, raisins, cinnamon, and Splenda.




Divide dough into 3 equal pieces.  Roll each ball of dough into long 3 inch wide strips.  Spread 1 Tbsp of butter onto each dough strip.  Spoon out 1/3 of applesauce mixer onto each strip.





Fold over both sides of the dough and the ends making three dough "ropes".




Carefully place each of the three dough "ropes" onto a greased pan with their seams facing down.



Loosely braid together the three ropes.  This does not have to be perfect!  Just have some fun here.


Bake in the oven for 20-25 minutes.  Allow the bread to cool for 5-10 minutes before cutting.  This is over the top when served warm out of the oven. :D
