Ingredients:

For the Bagels:

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon pumpkin spice
• 1 teaspoon cinnamon
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 packet (2 1/4 teaspoons) active dry yeast
• 1/2 cup warm water (110°F/43°C)
• 1/4 cup pumpkin puree
• 1/4 cup unsweetened applesauce

For the Topping:

• 1 medium apple, thinly sliced
• Cinnamon sugar for sprinkling

For the Glaze:

• 1/2 cup powdered sugar
• 1 tablespoon apple cider or milk
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

For Toasting:

• Dash Electric ClearView Toaster

Instructions:

1. Activate the Yeast:

• In a small bowl, combine warm water and brown sugar. Sprinkle the yeast over the water and let it sit for about 5 minutes until it becomes foamy.

2. Mix Dry Ingredients:

• In a large mixing bowl, combine flour, pumpkin spice, cinnamon, and salt.

3. Form the Dough:

• Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and add the activated yeast mixture, pumpkin puree, and applesauce.
• Mix until a dough forms, then knead on a floured surface for about 5-7 minutes until the dough is smooth and elastic.

4. First Rise:

• Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover it with a clean kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm place for 1 hour or until doubled in size.

5. Shape and Boil:

• Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
• Punch down the risen dough and divide it into 6 equal portions. Shape each portion into a ball, then poke a hole in the center to form a bagel shape.
• Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Boil each bagel for 1-2 minutes on each side.

6. Add Toppings:

• Place the boiled bagels on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Top each bagel with thinly sliced apples and sprinkle with cinnamon sugar.

7. Toast with Dash Electric ClearView Toaster:

• Place the bagels in the Dash Electric ClearView Toaster, adjusting the browning level to your liking.
• Toast until the bagels achieve a golden-brown perfection, and the ClearView window lets you monitor the toasting process.

8. Prepare the Glaze:

• While the bagels are toasting, whisk together powdered sugar, apple cider or milk, and vanilla extract to create the glaze.

9. Glaze and Enjoy:

• Once the bagels are out of the toaster, drizzle the glaze over them while they are still warm.
• Allow the glaze to set for a few minutes, and then relish the warm, toasty goodness of your Apple Pumpkin Bagels.
