Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 packet active dry yeast
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 3/4 cup warm water
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 2 medium apples, peeled and diced
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
Instructions
- In a small bowl, mix diced apples with brown sugar, cinnamon, and lemon juice. Set aside to macerate for 10 minutes.
- In a large bowl, combine flour, yeast, sugar, and salt. Add warm water and vegetable oil; mix until a dough forms.
- Knead dough on a floured surface for about 8 minutes until smooth and elastic. Place in a greased bowl, cover, and let rise for 1 hour or until doubled.
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Punch down dough and divide into 6 equal pieces.
- Flatten each piece into a disc and spoon a generous amount of the apple filling in the center.
- Fold the dough over the filling and seal completely. Shape into bagels by poking a hole in the center and gently stretching it.
- Place bagels on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Brush with beaten egg for a shiny finish.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes until golden brown and cooked through. Cool slightly before serving.
