Apple Ladder Loaf     

Ingredients:
1 16 oz frozen sweet bread dough
2 Tbsp butter, softened
1/4 cup brown sugar
1 Tbsp flour
1 tsp ground cinnamon
2 cups finely chopped peeled apples
milk
1 cup powdered sugar
1/4 tsp vanilla

Preparation:
Divide bread dough in half. On a lightly floured surface, roll each half into an 8 inch square. (For easier rolling, let dough rest a few minutes.) Spread each square with 1 Tbsp butter. For filling, combine brown sugar, flour & cinnamon; add apples & toss to coat. Spoon half the filling down the center of each square. Cutting from the right edge toward the filling, make 2 1/2 inch long cuts in dough at 1 inch intervals. Repeat from left edge. Fold strips alternately over filling; fold under ends. Place loaves on greased cookie sheet. Brush with milk. Cover & let loaves rise until nearly double (45-60 minutes). Bake at 350 for 30 minutes or until golden. Combine powdered sugar, vanilla & enough milk to reach desired consistency. Drizzle over loaves. Serve warm.
