Learn how to make delicious Apple Butter Pull-Apart Bread. Easy recipe with step-by-step instructions.

  • Total Time: 45 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 1/4 teaspoons active dry yeast (one packet)
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2/3 cup whole milk
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup apple butter
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

If you’re looking to mix things up, you can substitute the apple butter with pumpkin butter for a seasonal twist or add a handful of chopped pecans for a bit of crunch. The possibilities are endless, and each variation brings its own unique flavor profile to the table.

Instructions

  1. Begin by warming the milk and butter in a small saucepan over low heat until the butter is melted. Let it cool slightly until it’s just warm to the touch.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine 2 cups of flour, sugar, yeast, and salt. Pour the warm milk mixture into the dry ingredients and mix until just combined.
  3. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
  4. Gradually add the remaining flour until a soft dough forms. Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 5 minutes, until it becomes smooth and elastic.
  5. Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover with a clean kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm place for about an hour, or until doubled in size. This was always my favorite part as a child, watching the dough transform and grow.
  6. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a loaf pan.
  7. Roll out the risen dough on a floured surface into a rectangle, about 12×20 inches.
  8. Spread the apple butter evenly over the dough, then sprinkle the brown sugar and cinnamon on top.
  9. Cut the dough into six equal strips, stack them, and then cut into six squares. Place the stacks upright in the loaf pan, so the layers are visible.
  10. Cover and let rise for another 30 minutes.
  11. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the center is cooked through.
  12. Allow the bread to cool slightly before serving, though it’s hard to resist tearing into it right away!
