Freshly baked cinnamon apple pretzel served

Cinnamon Apple Pretzels

The origin of the cinnamon apple pretzel comes from the meeting of classic pastries and homemade apple pies. Apple and cinnamon have been a popular pairing in the world of autumn-winter pastries for centuries, especially in Europe. While retaining the pretzel shape, this version breathes new life into this iconic pastry with its sweet filling. As the apple simmers, its aroma instantly radiates warmth and coziness. It is the perfect choice for a cool afternoon, served with hot tea or coffee, but also works well for breakfast. The secret lies in the right ratio of fresh, juicy apples and good quality ground cinnamon. It is advisable to cool the filling completely before adding it to the dough - this makes it easier to shape and does not soak the dough during baking.

    Preparation Steps

    1

    Warm the milk and water until lukewarm. Dissolve the sugar in the mixture, then crumble in the yeast. Let it stand for 10 minutes, until the top becomes foamy – this indicates that the yeast is active.

    2

    Sift the flour into a large bowl, add the salt, and mix together. Add the proofed yeast mixture and the softened butter, then start to combine the dough. Knead for 10-15 minutes, until it becomes elastic and smooth.

    3

    Cover the bowl with a clean kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm place for 1 hour, or until doubled in size.

    4

    Meanwhile, peel, core, and finely dice the apples. In a saucepan, sauté them in a little butter until softened, then sprinkle with cinnamon and let cool completely.

    5

    Once the dough has risen, turn it out onto a floured surface, divide it into 8-10 portions, and shape them into ropes. Flatten the ropes by hand, spoon the apple-cinnamon filling into the center, then seal them and shape them into pretzels.

    6

    Place the pretzels on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Brush them with a little water, then sprinkle with sesame seeds. This will give them a crispy crust.

    7

    Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (180°C) for 20-25 minutes, until golden brown. If you are unsure, tap them – if they sound hollow, they are done.

    8

    Once baked, let them cool slightly, then serve them fresh to enjoy the aroma of apple and cinnamon.
