FOR THE APPLE COMPOTE FILLING:

On medium heat, using a medium size pot melt your butter.

Add brown sugar and stir till the sugar has dissolved.

Add cinnamon and apples.

Let the mixture simmer for 15 minutes or until apples are soft.

Set aside and allow to cool while you work on your dough.

FOR THE DOUGH:

In mixing bowl add yeast and water. Using whisk mix them together. Rest for 5 minutes.

Using your dough hook add 2 cups flour and mix on low.

Add oil and salt and continue to mix.

Add the remaining flour a ½ cup at a time till all is incorporated.

Dust counter top with flour and dump ball out of the mixing bowl.

With flour covered hands work the dough till you have a nice smooth ball.

Spray large bowl with cooking spray and add dough. Cover and allow to rise for 4 hours.

Preheat oven to 400 F. Prepare two 16" round pizza pans with parchment paper.

Divide dough in half.

Dust counter top with flour and with one half of your pizza ball roll out into a rectangle 1" thick. Short end running horizontally, long side running vertical.

Using pizza cutter, divide rectangle into 7 even sticks by cutting horizontally.

Distribute evenly 1 tablespoon of the apple compote filling onto each stick. Lightly press the apples into the sticks

Fold each stick over from left side to right side.

With each stick press all sides down so there are no openings.

Starting with your first stick, pick up and twist it a few times to get a nice spiral shape, careful not to lose any filling.

Place on pizza pan. Repeat with the remaining sticks.

With second half of dough, repeat steps.

Bake for 10 to 12 minutes or until golden.

Spoon apple compote filling to the top of each one and serve warm. ENJOY!
