RECIPE NAME:  APPLE-CINNAMON PULL APART LOAF

INGREDIENTS:
Dinner Rolls, thawed (or use your own dough recipe)
3 medium-sized Granny Smith apples, peeled and chopped
1/3 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup chopped pecans
1 tsp. cinnamon zest
Juice from half a lemon (about 2 tsp. of juice)

ICING:
1 cup powdered sugar
3-4 tsp. water
1/2 tsp. vanilla
1/2 tsp. almond flavoring

HOW TO MAKE THIS:
Cut thawed rolls in half.  Combine apples, sugar, nuts, cinnamon and lemon juice and zest.  Flatten each roll half into a 2-3 inch circle.  Place 1 teaspoon apple mixture in center of each dough circle.  Pinch edges together to seal, forming a ball.  Place filled balls in a sprayed 9x5 inch loaf pan.  Spoon remaining apple mixture evenly over the top.  Cover with greased plastic wrap and let rise until double.  Remove wrap and bake at 350 degrees for 45-50 minutes.  Cover with foil last 10 minutes of baking to prevent over browning.  Cool for 10 minutes.  Remove from pan and place on wire rack to cool.  Combine icing ingredients and drizzle over loaf.
