Ingredients: 2/3 cup dried cranberries; 5 tbsp apple juice; 4 cups all purpose flour; 1 cup lowfat milk + 2 tbsp; 1 1/8 tbsp dried active yeast; 1/4 cup butter; 1/4 cup sugar; 1 tsp vanilla extract; 2 None eggs; 3/4 cup walnuts; 2 None red apples, cored and cut into small cubes; 2 tbsp redcurrant jelly; 3 tbsp honey, warmed; 1 tbsp almond liqueur (such as amaretto)

Servings: persons

2/3 cup dried cranberries
5 tbsp apple juice
4 cups all purpose flour
1 cup lowfat milk + 2 tbsp
1 1/8 tbsp dried active yeast
1/4 cup butter
1/4 cup sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
2 None eggs
3/4 cup walnuts
2 None red apples, cored and cut into small cubes
2 tbsp redcurrant jelly
3 tbsp honey, warmed
1 tbsp almond liqueur (such as amaretto)

1
Soak the cranberries in the apple juice. Place the flour in a mixing bowl and make a well in the center. Heat 1 cup milk until lukewarm and stir in the yeast until dissolved. Pour into the well and mix with the flour. Cover and allow to rest in a warm place for 15 mins.
2
Melt the butter in a saucepan. Place in a bowl along with the sugar, vanilla extract, 1 egg and a pinch of salt and knead into a smooth dough. Cover and allow to rest in a warm place for 30 mins.
3
Heat a frying pan and toast the walnuts until browned. Allow to cool, then chop roughly. Separate the remaining egg and beat the yolk with 2 tbsp milk. Chill.
4
Drain the cranberries and mix with the apples, redcurrant jelly, honey, liqueur, egg white and walnuts. On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough to a 13 x 18 inch rectangle. Spread over the cranberry mixture and roll up from the long side. Cut the roll in half lengthways and twist the pieces together to form a cord. Line a baking sheet with baking paper and place the dough on it. Allow to rest for 10 mins.
5
Preheat the oven to 400u00b0F. Brush with the egg yolk mixture and bake for 35-40 mins, until a skewer comes out clean. Serve warm or cold.

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.
Preheat the oven fully and bake on the middle rack for the most even results.
Check for doneness a few minutes early — a toothpick in the center should come out with just a few moist crumbs.
Let it cool before slicing so it sets properly and holds its shape.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions

Swap the honey for maple syrup or agave for a slightly different but equally rich sweetness.
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.
Leave out the nuts to make it nut-free, or swap in seeds for a similar crunch.
A good 1:1 gluten-free flour blend works well if you need a gluten-free version.
