Prepare the Dough: In a large bowl, combine the flour, active dry yeast, white sugar, and salt.

In a separate bowl, mix the egg (save about 10 ml for later), water, and 1 tbsp oil.

Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing until a dough forms.

Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 10 minutes until smooth and elastic.

Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.

Prepare the Filling: Peel and dice the apple into small pieces.

In a small bowl, mix the apple pieces with a splash of lemon juice, white sugar, honey (optional), and 1 tbsp water.

In a saucepan, cook the apple mixture over medium heat until the apples are tender.

Mix the corn starch with a little water to make a slurry, then add it to the apple mixture and cook until thickened. Let cool.

In a separate bowl, combine the brown sugar and ground cinnamon.

Assemble the Bread: Preheat your oven to 180°C (356°F).

Roll out the risen dough on a floured surface into a rectangle.

Brush the dough with 1 tsp of oil.

Spread the cooled apple mixture evenly over the dough.

Sprinkle the brown sugar and cinnamon mixture over the apple filling.

Roll up the dough tightly from one long side to form a log.

Place the log seam-side down in a greased bread pan or on a baking sheet.

Bake the Bread: Brush the top of the bread with the reserved egg wash (10 ml).

Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until golden brown.

After 20 minutes, you can cover the bread with tin foil to prevent it from burning.

Serve: Let the bread cool slightly before slicing.

Enjoy warm or at room temperature.
