This Week's Cravings: Christmas Morning Breakfast & Brunch
 Ahhh the excitement of Christmas morning... stocking, presents, your special Christmas pj's. Everyone has their little traditions. I remember opening stockings first thing, then breakfast and the Christmas parade - then we opened presents. For several years, my sister and I (or our Mom) made cinnamon rolls. Mmmmmm..... No matter your tradition, we want you to share! What does your family enjoy Christmas morning? Welcome to This Week's Cravings - it's Christmas morning time! Today, I'm sharing a wonderful recipe my husband recently found. I came home one evening to find our home filled with this delicious aroma. He said he just felt like baking :) I have photos of the final product, but he didn't take picture of the process.  Apple Coffee Cake First you make a 'sweet dough:' 3-4 cups flour¼ cup sugar 1 tsp salt 1 pkg active dry yeast ½ cup water ½ cup milk ¼ cup margarine or butter 1 egg In large bowl combine 2 cup flour, sugar, salt and yeast; blend well. In small saucepan, heat water, milk and margarine until very warm (120-130 F). Add warm liquid and egg to your flour mixture. Blend at low speed until moistened; beat 3 minutes at medium speed. By hand, stir in an additional 3 cups flours until dough pulls cleanly away from sides of bowl. On floured surface, knead in 1 to 2 to cups flour until dough is smooth and elastic, about 8-10 minutes. Place dough in greased bowl; cover loosely with plastic wrap and then a cloth towel. Let rise in warm place until light and doubled in size, about 45-60 minutes. Punch down dough to remove air bubbles. To make apple coffee cake: Generously grease large pie pan (or 13x9 pan). Press sweet dough in prepared pan. Arrange 4 cups sliced, peeled apples in rows on top of dough. In small bowl, blend ¾ cup sugar, 3 Tb flour, ½ tsp cinnamon and 2 Tb softened margarine or butter with fork until crumbly. Sprinkle evenly over apples. Cover with a cloth towel and let rise in warm place until light and doubled in size, about 40-45 minutes. Bake at 375 for 30-40 minutes or until golden brown around edges and apples are tender. In small bowl, combine ½ cup powdered sugar and 2-4 Tb milk; blend well. Drizzle over warm coffee cake.  Hubs used only 1 apple but made the dish in a pie pan; this made the coffee cake very thick. If using the 4 apples, a 13x9 pan would work best. When baking, put a baking sheet on the rack below to catch potential spills.
