Drizzled with icing, each finger-licking piece has a yummy surprise 
filling of apples and pecans. It's well worth the bit of extra effort.

One can leave off the icing if desired.

Prep: 40 min. + rising
Bake: 35 min. + cooling
MAKES: 16 servings

In a mixing bowl, dissolve yeast in milk. Add 2 tablespoons butter, 
egg, 2 tablespoons sugar, salt and 3 cups flour; beat until smooth. 
Add enough remaining flour to form a stiff dough. Turn onto a floured 
surface; knead until smooth and elastic, 6-8 minutes. Place in a 
greased bowl, turning once to grease top. Cover and let rise in a 
warm place until doubled, about 1 hour.

Combine apple, pecans, cinnamon and remaining sugar; set aside. Punch 
dough down; divide in half. Cut each half into 16 pieces. On a 
lightly floured surface, pat or roll out each piece into a 2-1/2" 
circle. Place 1 teaspoon apple mixture in center of circle; pinch 
edges together and seal, forming a ball. Dip in remaining butter. In 
a greased 10" tube pan, place 16 balls, seam side down; sprinkle with 
1/4 cup apple mixture. Layer remaining balls; sprinkle with remaining 
apple mixture. Cover and let rise until nearly doubled, about 45 
minutes. Bake at 350F for 35-40 minutes or until golden brown. Cool 
for 10 minutes; remove from pan to a wire rack. Combine icing 
ingredients; drizzle over bread.

Yield: 1 loaf.
