Apple-Brie Braid With Almonds

SOURCE: Cooking Light YEAR: December 1999 PAGE: 178

INGREDIENTS FOR 16 SERVINGS:
1 (1-pound) loaf frozen white bread dough
2 tablespoons butter or stick margarine, divided
4 cups finely chopped peeled Granny Smith apple (about 1-1/4 pounds)
1/2 cup packed brown sugar, divided
3 tablespoons chopped slivered almonds
Cooking spray
4 ounces Brie cheese
1 teaspoon all-purpose flour

INSTRUCTIONS:
If Brie isn't the cheese for you, substitute your favorite kind. Cheddar,
smoked gouda, or Swiss also would be nice.

1. Thaw dough in refrigerator 12 hours.

2. Melt 1 tablespoon butter in a medium nonstick skillet over medium-high
heat. Add apples; saute 10 minutes. Add 1/4 cup brown sugar; cook 5 minutes.
Remove from heat; stir in almonds.

3. Roll dough into a 15 x 12-inch rectangle on a lightly floured surface.
Place on a baking sheet coated with cooking spray. Spread apple mixture
lengthwise down center of dough. Remove rind from cheese; cube. Arrange cheese
on top of apple mixture. Make diagonal cuts, 1-1/2 inches apart, on opposite
sides of filling to within 1/2 inch of filling. Fold strips alternately over
filling from each side, overlapping at an angle. Cover and let rise in a warm
place (85 degrees), free from drafts 1-1/2 hours or until doubled in size.

4. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

5. Combine 1/4 cup brown sugar and flour in a medium bowl; cut in 1 tablespoon
butter with a pastry blender or 2 knives until combined. Sprinkle over top of
loaf. Bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes or until golden. Yield: 16 servings
(serving size: 1 slice).
