Servings: persons

1-1/4 teaspoons active dry yeast
2 tablespoons warm water (110u00b0 to 115u00b0)
1 large egg, room temperature
1/4 cup warm whole milk (110u00b0 to 115u00b0)
2 tablespoons butter, softened
2 tablespoons sugar
1 teaspoon grated lemon zest
1/4 teaspoon salt
1-1/4 to 1-1/2 cups all-purpose flour
4 ounces cream cheese, softened
1 tablespoon sugar
1 large tart apple, peeled and sliced
2 teaspoons butter, melted
Confectioners' sugar

1
In a small bowl, dissolve yeast in warm water. Add the egg, milk, butter, sugar, lemon zest, salt and 3/4 cup flour. Beat until smooth. Stir in enough remaining flour to form a soft dough (dough will be sticky).
2
Turn onto a floured surface. With floured hands, knead until smooth and elastic, about 6-8 minutes. Press into a greased 8-in. square baking dish; build up edges slightly.
3
For topping, in a small bowl, combine cream cheese and sugar. Gently spread over dough. Arrange apple slices over top; brush with butter. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1 hour.
4
Preheat oven to 350u00b0. Bake until golden brown and apples are tender, 30-40 minutes. Cool on a wire rack. Dust with confectioners' sugar. Refrigerate leftovers.

Tips for the best results

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Taste as you go and adjust the seasoning before serving.
Avoid overcrowding the pan — cook in batches if needed for the best texture.
Let the dish rest for a few minutes before serving so the flavors settle.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions

Use a neutral oil or a plant-based spread in place of butter for a dairy-free version.
Brown sugar instead of white sugar adds a deeper, more caramel-like flavor.
A good 1:1 gluten-free flour blend works well if you need a gluten-free version.
Coconut cream is a reliable plant-based alternative to dairy cream.
