When I was a little girl our family often made a braided apple bread. It was one of my favorite treats I looked forward to each winter! Unfortunately I don’t have our family recipe and so I’ve been trying to recreate it. This recipe uses the dinner roll recipe I posted the other day. But you could also use your favorite bread recipe or my basic bread.
While this isn’t quite what I remember from childhood, it’s wonderful! I had to hide the last piece so hubby would be able to try some. lol We’ll be making this often over the winter.
