1 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup milk
1/4 cup water
2 tablespoons butter

Filling:
1/2 cup sugar
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1 cup (1 medium) apple, peeled, thinly sliced
1 cup dried cranberries
3/4 cup toasted nuts, chopped
Glaze:

Add flour mixture.
Beat on low 30 seconds; add egg. Beat on medium 3 minutes. Stir in remaining

1 hour.
Punch down dough on lightly floured surface. Roll into 15 x 12-inch rectangle.
