Anyhoo, it was about 8 o'clock at night, and my son and I were hanging out. He took a late nap, and we were waiting for my husband to get home from his trip, so to kill time we went out to Target. I couldn't decide what I wanted to make for dinner, and I was hoping something there would inspire me. Either that or I would me stopping at McDonald's on the way home.
And there in the bakery section I found my inspiration: Apple Fritter Bread. Don't you just love seasonal items??
One problem, it was four bucks for the loaf. So I thought to myself, hey I can make this. All I need is a can of apple pie filling. When I found it, I realized it was pretty much the same price as the loaf. Well, that didn't make sense. Still, I didn't want to waste that much on a little loaf. So I ended up buying three red delicious apples, determined I was going to do everything myself.
Sadly, I didn't get to it that night. But today I had some time. And I seriously need to go to culinary school because it took me WAAAAY too long to chop those three apples.
I made the dough, and while it was rising, I made the apple filling.
Here's the funny thing. I didn't see in the recipe that you need to let the filling cool all the way before you spread it over the dough. It melted my dough and made a royal mess. Which meant that instead of neatly cut little squares, I had a gelatinous pile of gooey dough and apples. That's ok! I rolled it all up and dropped it in my pan. It would cook out evenly, right?
And to my great surprise, it in fact did!
So, if you are ambitious like me, check out the recipe here and give it a try!

Looks a little like brains, right? Add a little pink food coloring to the dough and you've got a perfect Halloween centerpiece! Bahahaha
