Whisk together flour, yeast, and salt in a large bowl. Stir in the 1 tablespoon of sugar, coconut oil, and warm milk until well combined. Allow the mixture to sit and rest for 10 minutes.

Once the mixture has finished resting, knead the dough on a floured surface for 10 minutes, until elastic. Oil a large bowl, place the dough in it, and cover with a wet towel, plastic wrap, or a lid. Allow to rise in a warm place for about 1 1/2 hours, or until doubled in size.

While the dough is rising, make the apple filling. In a small bowl, stir together 1/4 cup sugar, spices, nuts and flour. Peel and grate or finely chop apples and add them to the bowl of spices. Stir until apple pieces are evenly covered.

Once the dough has risen, punch it down and split it in half. One half at a time, roll the dough out with a rolling pin on a floured surface until it is about 14 x 10 inches. Spread half of the apple mixture on top, leaving just an inch bare on either of the long sides.

Starting with a long edge, roll the dough into a log. Using kitchen scissors or a knife, cut the log lengthwise (so that you are cutting the spiral in half all the way up the log) but leave just an inch on the end so the log stays attached. Now crisscross the two long pieces with the filling sides facing up, and seal the end by pinching the ends and folding under the log. Repeat for the second loaf.

Allow the loaves to rise for 1 hour or so, covering lightly with some plastic wrap. Once doubled, brush with egg wash and bake at 350* F for 40 minutes, or until golden brown and hollow sounding when tapped.
