Ingredients

Directions

  1. Thaw the frozen bread dough according to package directions until pliable.
  2. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius).
  3. In a medium bowl, combine the cinnamon apple pie filling, fresh or frozen cranberries, orange juice, orange zest, lemon juice, and apple pie spice. Mix well and set aside.
  4. Prepare the streusel topping by combining flour, sugar, brown sugar, and cinnamon in a small bowl. Cut in softened butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in half of the chopped walnuts.
  5. Cut the loaf of dough into 3 even pieces.
  6. On a lightly floured surface, roll each piece of dough into an 8 by 7-inch rectangle.
  7. Spread the apple-cranberry mixture evenly over each rectangle, leaving a small border at the edges.
  8. Roll up each rectangle tightly from the long side. Pinch the seams to seal.
  9. Arrange the rolls on a baking sheet, either in a wreath shape or as individual loaves.
  10. Sprinkle the streusel topping evenly over the dough.
  11. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the bread is golden brown and cooked through.
  12. Optional: While the bread bakes, prepare a simple glaze with milk and sugar. Drizzle over the bread immediately after removing from the oven.
  13. Let cool for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
