-
In a large bowl, combine 2-1/4 cups flour, sugar, and salt.
-
In a small saucepan heat milk, cider and 1/4 cup of butter until the butter melts. Remove from heat and sprinkle yeast over the top of the milk mixture. Allow to proof for 10 minutes.
-
Pour milk mixture into the flour mixture and stir until combined. Stir in remaining flour until a soft dough forms (dough will be sticky).
-
Turn dough onto a floured surface and knead for 6-8 minutes until dough becomes smooth and elastic. Let rise in a warm place for 30 minutes.
-
Meanwhile, grease and flour a 9 1/2 inch bundt pan. Set aside.
-
In a medium bowl combine apples, brown sugar and cinnamon.
-
Roll dough into a 15X10 inch rectangle. Spread rectangle with remaining butter. Top evenly with apple mixture.
-
Roll dough, lengthwise, jelly roll style, pinching to seal the seam at the end. Cut into 12 even slices.
-
Place slices into the prepared bundt pan so they fit snugly. Cover, and allow to rest in a warm place for one hour.
-
Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Bake for 35-45 minutes until golden brown.
