Divide the dough in two parts- Roll each part into rectangle and place the half of apple filling in each bread. Cut along the side of the dough with scissors and pull the dough across the top of the filling to create a braided effect.
Place on a buttered cookie sheet. Bake for 20 minutes or until golden brown. 

To make the apple filling:

In a bowl put the apples cut into wedges and mixed with lemon juice, spices, sugar and salt. Let stand for 30 minutes.
After this time retrieved the juice of apples that will formed on the bottom of the bowl,
and pour in a saucepan with butter and cook  for 5 minutes, Add the cornstarch to apples and the the syrup you made.
