Steps

Read instructions and get ready to cook

1
Prepare the dough

In a large bowl, mix 1 cup of flour, yeast, and granulated sugar. Heat the milk and butter until warm (110°F/43°C), and add to the flour mixture. Mix until well combined, then cover and let rest for 30 minutes.

2
Add remaining dough ingredients

Add the eggs, salt, and remaining 1 1/2 cups of flour to the dough mixture. Mix until a soft dough forms, then knead for 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic. Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover, and let rise for 1 hour or until doubled in size.

3
Prepare the filling

Peel, core, and chop the apples into small pieces. In a bowl, mix the chopped apples, brown sugar, cinnamon, cardamom, ginger, and cloves until well combined.

4
Shape the kolaches

Punch down the risen dough and divide it into 12 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a ball, then flatten it into a disc. Place a spoonful of the chai-spiced apple filling in the center of each disc, then fold the edges up and pinch to seal, creating a well in the center.

5
Let the kolaches rise

Place the filled kolaches on a greased baking sheet, cover, and let rise for 30 minutes or until puffy.

6
Preheat the oven

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).

7
Bake the kolaches

Bake the kolaches for 18-20 minutes or until golden brown.

8
Serve and enjoy

Remove the Chai-Spiced Apple Kolaches from the oven and let them cool slightly on a wire rack. Serve warm and enjoy the delightful combination of soft dough and warm, spiced apple filling.
