You don't want to use an apple that will be soft or mushy. When cooking the apples remember you only want to soften them. Not cook them to apple sauce. It is vital that you use Splenda for the 1/4 cup of Splenda. Splenda will sweeten the dough without altering its texture or making it wet and sticky. Plus Splenda doesn't affect the yeast like sugar would. To toast the walnuts and/or pumpkin seeds place them on a baking sheet in a 350 degree oven for 10 to 15 minutes. When you start to smell them, they are ready to go. Make sure and allow them to cool before using them. You can use this recipe to bake a loaf of bread either in the bread machine or your regular oven. Or, you can make this on the dough cycle and make cinnamon rolls out of it. For the cinnamon roll filling mix 3 tablespoons butter, with 1 teaspoon cinnamon and 3 tablespoons brown sugar. Mix well. After your roll the dough out spread this mixture on evenly. Then roll up the dough, cut in to rolls and allow to rise on a lightly greased baking dish. Once they have doubled in size place them in a preheated 350 degree oven and bake for 30 to 40 minutes. For icing combine 1/4 cup powdered sugar with 1 to 2 tablspoons milk. It needs to be thicken to stay on the rolls but thin enough that is runs a little bit. Use the amount of milk need to get it to that consistency. You can double the cinnamon roll filling if you like.
