How could I resist? They taste like baked apples.Check the social media tomorrow for pictures of the winter apple rye bread that's currently rising on the counter beside me in a dish towel lined bowl. And in the meantime, here's the recipe, made fresh this morning, so you, too, can warm your home with a good, hearty bread.

WINTER APPLE RYE
makes 1 large or 2 small loaves

PREFERMENT
150 g warm water
150 g ryemeal
10 g sourdough

Mix together and leave overnight (10-16 hours) in a warm place, until the mix has a strong, pleasantly sour taste.

FINAL DOUGH
275 g water, hot from the tap
350 g ryemeal
10 g salt
500 g apples, chopped or grated
all the preferment
(optional: a handful of toasted, chopped walnuts)
(optional: a handful of raisins or other dried fruit)

Mix all the ingredients together. Scoop into an oiled tin or a well floured basket. Proof until the dough is expanded and cracking and feels fragile when pressed (3 to 6 hours, depending on the temperature of  your dough and home). Before the loaf has fully risen, preheat your oven all the way up. Bake hot for 10 minutes, then turn the oven down to 325F and bake for another 75 minutes, or until a thermometer in the bottom of the loaf reads 200F. Let cool completely before slicing.
