1
Make the cream twists.
-
2
In a heatproof bowl, add the egg and the granulated sugar and mix together with a whisk.
-
3
Sift in the cake flour and mix well.
-
4
Then add the milk bit by bit and mix.
-
5
Gently cover it with plastic wrap and microwave it for 1 minute.
-
6
Mix again and then microwave once more for 40 seconds.
-
7
Mix until it's smooth, add in the butter, and then mix once more.
-
8
Transfer it to a flat dish and cover with plastic wrap so that it won't dry out.
-
9
Set your bread machine to the bread making course to make the dough.
-
10
For the apples, peel the apple and cut it into eighths.
-
11
Slice them into 3mm wide slices and dip them into salty water (to keep them from turning color) and then let them dry on parchment paper.
-
12
Once the first rising is done, take out the dough and punch it.
-
13
Form it into a ball and then cover it with a tightly wrung out damp towel and let it sit for 10-15 minutes.
-
14
Roll out the dough into a flat, wide 25cm x 30cm shape with a rolling pin.
-
15
Spread the custard cream onto the dough, leaving about 3 cm on one side uncovered.
-
16
At this point, you could also dust with granulated sugar, the same as in the cream twists recipe.
-
17
Roll the dough up from the bottom and tightly close the seam.
-
18
Cut the dough into eight pieces and put them in cups with the sides facing up.
-
19
Gently push down on the centers so that it creates a depression.
-
20
In that depression, put 4-5 of the sliced apples on top, trying to fill in as many gaps as possible.
-
21
Then sift granulated sugar on top.
-
22
Let the dough rise a second time until it has doubled in size.
-
23
Next, bake them in a preheated oven at 190C for 13-15 minutes.
-
24
Once they have dried, feel free to sift some powdered sugar on top.
-
25
You can put them in individual bags for presents.
-
26
This is the bag that I used.
-
27
I bought these at a home center.

28
If it comes with a seal, that's even better.
