Recipe Added:  3/28/2012
1 pkg active dry yeast
3 cups flour
1 cup butter, softened
3 egg yolks, beaten
1 cup sour cream
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup finely chopped pecans
3/4 tsp cinnamon
1 apple, peeled, finely chopped
 Icing
1 cup powdered sugar
4 tsp milk
1/4 tsp vanilla
Finely chopped pecans
In a large bowl, combine the yeast and flour; add butter and mix well. Add egg yolks and sour cream; mix well. Shape into four balls. Place in separate resealable plastic bags or wrap in plastic wrap; refrigerate overnight.

Combine sugar, pecans and cinnamon; set aside. On a floured surface, roll each ball of dough into a 9-in. circle. Sprinkle with sugar mixture and apple. Cut each circle into 16 wedges; roll up from wide edge and pinch to seal. Place with point side down on greased baking sheets. Bake at 350° for 16-20 minutes or until lightly browned. Immediately remove to wire racks to cool. For icing, combine sugar, milk and vanilla until smooth; drizzle over the twists. Sprinkle with pecans.
