A Sweet Treat - Uncovering the Mystery of the Apple & Raisin Braid

[cla519]

I have a custome that had been to a show awhile ago and the consultant made a braid with apples and raisons. She said it was kind of like an apple pie but in the cresents. Does anyone know if this is a PC recipe? If it is do you know where I can find it?

The "braid" is a basic recipe - there's about a half a bazillion different fillings for it. I do the cheesey chicken broccoli braid for my shows but haven't tried the apple one yet.Let me know how it is!

I would imagine that you could use the filling part with the cresent rolls? Maybe thats what that consultant did. She said it was on the pizza stone and done in a circle.

Any apple pie filling should work: apples, spices, a little lemon juice for tartness and a little flour to thicken the juice. Yum!
