• Make a few small slits in the top crust to le t steam escape.
• Bake at 450 for 20 minutes. The apples will be slightly firm.
• Combine the powdered sugar and water to make a glaze. Pour the glaze over the cake while the cake is still warm, but NOT hot.

Steps:

• 1. Preheat oven to 350°. Lightly grease two standard bread loaf pans and set aside. Peel, core and slice the apples. Cut into good-sized chunks, about 1 inch in size
• 2. In a large bowl, beat the eggs with an electric mixer until fluffy.
• 3. Add the oil and beat until combined.
• 4. Add the VANILLA EXTRACT, baking soda, salt and CINNAMON. Beat until thoroughly mixed
• 5. Next, add the flour and sugar and mix on low just to blend. Turn the mixer to high and beat until mixture is smooth. The batter will be very thick, almost like cookie dough.
• 6. Fold in the chopped apples, mixing by hand with a spoon so the apples do not get broken up. Divide the mixture between the two pans. Since the batter is so thick, it is easiest to spoon the batter into the pans
• 7. To prepare the topping, combine flour, sugar and PENZEYS CINNAMON in a small bowl.
• 8. Cut the butter into the mixture with a fork until all ingredients are moist and crumbly. If you don't mind a little mess, it is faster to use your hands.
• 9. Sprinkle equal amounts of topping on each loaf. Bake for about 1 hour on the center rack of the oven.
• 10. The loaf should feel fairly firm when touched in the middle; if not, bake an extra 5 minutes
• 11. Remove from the oven and place on a cooling rack. Let cool for 5 minutes before removing from the pans. It is easier to slice the bread if you can wait until it is at least mostly cool.

• Sprinkle with cornflake crumbs.
• Spread with apples, sugar and cinnamon, leaving a bare border of dough of about 3/4".
• On a floured pastry cloth, roll the remaining piece of dough into another 10" X 12" rectangle.

Steps:

• To make the dough: In a medium bowl, whisk together eggs and milk - set aside.
• In a large bowl, whisk together flour, yeast and salt. Add butter chunks - cut it in with a pastry blender until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Pour in the milk mixture and stir until a soft dough forms. Divide in half, wrap in saran wrap and chill for about 30 minutes.
• Roll one piece of dough into a 12" x 17" rectangle - because the dough will be quite thin, you will want to roll the dough out onto a large sheet of parchment so it will be easier to handle. Carefully flip the dough into a 13" x 18" half-sheet pan - smooth out the corners and dough if needed.
• To make the filling: In a medium bowl, whisk together the sugar, cornstarch, salt and cinnamon. Spread the apples over the prepared dough - scatter the sugar mixture evenly over the apples. Roll out the other piece of dough in the same fashion and place it over the apples. Pinch the edges together. Cut steam vents in the top. Cover with plastic wrap lightly coated with nonstick spray - let rise in a cool place for about 1 hour.
• After about 30 minutes, preheat the oven to 350.
• Bake until golden brown, about 25 to 30 minutes. Remove and place pan on a rack to cool for about 20 minutes.
