I'm back again to report, as I made this recipe last night. A couple of observations: as noted in the directions, it's probably best served warm, but I made it last night and brought it in to the office this morning. Should have warmed it up this morning but didn't have time :( It's good, but the bread is just a teensy bit dry from its overnight sit on the counter. I think it would be absolutely awesome served warm or within a couple hours.
Secondly, when spreading & shaping the dough in the pan, be careful not to pull too hard and thin out the middle. I found myself doing that, and a thin middle means too much bread on the sides. Once I caught myself and reshaped, it was fine.
Lastly, this is not a super-sweet bread, and that's one of the things I like about it. The apples in the boiled cider/maple syrup/cinnamon filling are really marvelous.
