Ingredients

• 2.50.833333333333 cups warm milk
• .50.166666666667 cup oil
• .50.166666666667 cup sugar
• 20.666666666667 tsp salt
• 20.666666666667 eggs
• 20.666666666667 tbsp yeast
• 7.52.5 cups flour to make a soft dough
• 10.333333333333 can any flavor pie filling

Steps

1. Combine liquids, add yeast to soften. Add all ingredients and enough flour to make a soft dough. Let raise.
2. Roll into 3-4 rectangular shapes, about 11x14 inches each. Spread pie filling down the middle of each rectangle, leaving top edges clear and about 3-4 inches on the sides. Note: I like to make a cream cheese/powdered sugar mixture to spread on the dough before putting the fruit filling on.
3. With a pair of scissors or a knife, cut the sides making a slit every inch. You will then alternate strips from side to side in a mock braid look. The ends will then be tucked under to complete the loaf. Let raise again. Bake at 350F till golden brown. After the loaves are cooled, drizzle with a glaze made from powdered sugar and water, criss-crossing to make it look nice. You can sprinkle sliced almonds on top if you like.
