Apple Raisin Cinnamon Ring

This recipe is another apple bread recipe. Cinnamon bread with apple and raisin filling is ordinary combination. But look at the shape!! What a lovely shape!!

It looks ring cake, but it is bread!!
The dough is sweet and rich, cinnamon taste like hot cross buns. It is perfect for breakfast or tea.

The shaping  instruction photo, I put them up side- down. When I made it, I did wrong way. I roll it up to down. But roll the dough, down to up is easier.

And don't put too much fillings. It makes difficult to shape. 
Apple preserve is the same as Apple custard roll's filling. You need to make it at first.
