   Prepare recipe of Plunderteig and chill.  Cut off a third of the chilled
 dough and roll it out 1/4" thick.  Brush the dough with beaten egg.  Cover
 it with the floured candied fruit  and sprinkle on the cinnamon sugar. Fold
 the dough in half and roll it out 1/2" thick.  Cut the filled dough in 3/4
 X 8" strips.  Slit the strips down the center with a pastry wheel, leaving
 an inch uncut at each end, and twist the strips into various designs of
 single or double rounds.  Arrange the twists on a buttered baking sheet,
 brush them with beaten egg, let them rise, covered, in a warm place until
 they double in bulk, about 1 1/2 hours.  Bake in a moderate oven, 350
 degrees F. for 20 minutes or until they are golden. Brush the hot twists
 with apricot preserves.
