Instructions

Night Before Baking: In a mixing bowl, combine your active sourdough starter, warm water, salt, and unbleached flour. Mix until fully incorporated, then cover and let it rise overnight.
Prepare the Next Day: Preheat your oven to 375℉ and grease your baking dish with melted butter.
Make the Dough: After the dough has risen, add in the remaining salted butter, brown sugar, vanilla extract, and ground cinnamon. Mix until well combined and gently fold in the diced apples.
Shape the Focaccia: Pour the dough into the prepared baking dish and allow it to rise for another 30 minutes to an hour.
Bake: Bake in your preheated oven for about 30-35 minutes or until golden brown on top.
Prepare the Icing: Whisk together the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Drizzle the Icing: Once baked, let the focaccia cool slightly before drizzling the icing on top.
