Rose’s Apple Turnover Coffee Cake

Directions

1. In a large saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Add apples; cook and stir until apples are just tender. Stir in the remaining filling ingredients. Cook 10-15 minutes, stirring until thickened. Remove from the heat; cool.
2. For dough, in a large bowl, combine 1 cup flour, sugar, salt and yeast. In a small saucepan, combine water and butter; heat to 120°. Gradually add to dry ingredients; beat for 2 minutes. Beat in the egg, zest and 3/4 cup flour. With mixer at high speed, beat 2 minutes. Stir in remaining flour. Cover; let stand 20 minutes.
3. Meanwhile, combine topping ingredients; set aside. Divide dough in half. On a well-floured surface and using a floured rolling pin, roll each half to a 14x12-in. rectangle. Place on greased baking sheets. Spread filling down center of dough to within 1 in. of ends. Starting about 3/4 in. from filling, cut 1-in.-wide strips diagonally from filling to edges of dough. Alternately fold opposite strips of dough at angles across filling. Fold ends over filling. Loosely cover dough with greased waxed paper; cover paper with plastic wrap. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours. When ready to bake, uncover and let stand at room temperature for 10 minutes. Sprinkle topping over coffee cakes.
4. Bake at 375° for 30-35 minutes or until lightly browned. Remove from pans to wire racks to cool.
