The crumb looks great! Must have smelt incredible too.

So, no water is added, just the apple?

Cheers,

yes you can, add another 3 to 5% on hydration then. for the mixing part it would be quick if you do an hour or 2 of autolyse roughly

3 minutes initial mix on low speed
rest for 30 minutes
3 to 5 minutes mix on medium speed and that should be enough.
