Apple Pie Sweet Bread

This is another recipe that I used to make frequently when I was in my 20s and also when my kids were little. It is so good! You can use Rhodes Frozen White Bread Dough, either the white bread or the sweet bread dough. I don't measure the ingredients.

Bread
1-2 loaves Rhodes frozen white bread dough, or sweet dough, thawed for 1 1/2 to 2 hours
1-2 cans apple pie filling (sweeten with granulated sugar, if desired)
butter
granulated sugar

Frosting
powdered sugar
butter, softened
milk
vanilla extract


Directions
1. Roll out one of the loaves and place on a large baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Top with the apple pie filling

2. At this point, you may either roll up jelly-roll fashion, or top with another rolled out loaf of bread.

3. Butter top of bread dough and sprinkle with granulated sugar. Let rise in a warm place until doubled in size.

4. Bake 350 degrees until dough has baked through, approximately 30-40 minutes, depending on whether you are using one loaf that is rolled up jelly roll fashion, or you are topping the pie filling with a 2nd loaf of bread. 

5. Make a very thick frosting with some powdered sugar, softened butter, and a little milk. Add the vanilla extract and mix in. Spread over the top of the bread while bread is still warm. Let cool for one hour before cutting.
