INGREDIENTS

• 1 package active dry yeast
• 1/4 cup warm (105° to 115° F) water
• 1/4 cup sugar
• 3/4 cup warm (105° to 115° F) milk
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/4 cup butter or margarine, softened
• 3 1/4 to 3 1/2 cups flour
• 3 egg yolks
• 1 egg white, beaten with 1/2 teaspoon water
• 2 tablespoons coarsely chopped filberts
• Dried-Apple Filling:
• 1 1/2 cups water
• 2 cups (6-oz pkg) dried apples
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice
• 1/2 cup sugar
• 1/2 cup golden raisins
• 1 teaspoon grated lemon rind
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg

DIRECTIONS

• Sprinkle yeast over the water in large bowl of electric mixer. Add 1 tablespoon of the sugar. Let stand until yeast is soft (about 5 minutes). Add 1 tablespoon of the sugar (reserve the remaining 2 tablespoons for topping), milk, salt, vanilla, and butter. Add 2 cups of the flour. Mix to blend, then beat at medium speed until smooth and elastic (about 5 minutes).
• Beat in egg yolks, one at a time. Stir in about 1 cup more flour to make a soft dough.
• Turn dough out onto a board or pastry cloth coated with some of the remaining 1/4 to 1/2 cup flour. Knead until dough is smooth and satiny and small bubbles form just under surface (10 to 12 minutes), adding just enough flour to prevent dough from being sticky.
• Turn dough in a greased bowl. Cover with plastic wrap and a towel; let rise in a warm place until doubled in bulk (1 1/4 to 1 1/2 hours). While dough rises, prepare Dried-Apple Filling.
• Punch dough down. Cover with inverted bowl and let rest for 10 minutes. Roll dough out-on a floured surface to an l8-inch square. Spread with filling, leaving a l-inch margin on all sides. Roll up jelly-roll fashion; pinch to seal long edge.
• Place roll, seam side down, on a large, greased baking sheet; curve into a ring. Moisten ends and pinch together to seal. At 2-inch intervals cut slits in dough just to first layer of filling. Let rise until almost doubled in bulk (30 to 45 minutes).
• Brush lightly with egg white mixture, then sprinkle with the remaining 2 tablespoons sugar and filberts.
• Preheat oven to 350° F. Bake until coffee cake is richly browned (35 to 40 minutes). Carefully slide onto a wire rack. Serve warm. or at room temperature.
