Ingredients Notes For Apple Fritter Bread:

• Apples: Choose a mix of sweet and tart apples, like Granny Smith and Honeycrisp, for a balanced flavor.
• Cinnamon Sugar: A mixture of cinnamon and sugar creates the sweetly spiced layers within the bread.
• Batter: A simple batter enriched with sour cream or yogurt for moistness and a tender crumb.
• Glaze: A simple glaze made with powdered sugar and milk (or apple cider for extra flavor) adds a sweet finish.
• Nuts: Optional, but walnuts or pecans can add a delightful crunch.

Recipe Steps:

1. Prep Apples: Peel and chop the apples. Toss with cinnamon and sugar to coat.
2. Make Batter: Whisk together the wet ingredients (eggs, vanilla, sour cream). In a separate bowl, mix the dry ingredients (flour, baking powder, salt). Combine the wet and dry mixtures.
3. Layer the Bread: Pour half of the batter into a greased loaf pan. Add half of the apple mixture, then repeat with the remaining batter and apples. Swirl with a knife for a marbled effect.
4. Bake: Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
5. Glaze: Cool the bread in the pan before drizzling with the prepared glaze.

Ingredients

For the Bread:

• 1/3 cup brown sugar
• 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
• 2 apples peeled, cored, and diced (preferably a sweet variety like Honeycrisp or Gala)
• 2/3 cup granulated sugar
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter softened
• 2 large eggs
• 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 3/4 teaspoons baking powder
• 1/2 cup milk

For the Glaze:

• 1/2 cup powdered sugar
• 2-3 tablespoons milk or cream
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract optional

Instructions

Preheat the Oven and Prepare the Pan:

• Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x5-inch loaf pan, or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.

Mix Brown Sugar and Cinnamon:

• In a small bowl, mix together the brown sugar and ground cinnamon. Set aside.

Prepare the Apple Mixture:

• In another bowl, combine the diced apples with 2 tablespoons of the brown sugar-cinnamon mixture. Toss until the apples are well coated. Set aside.

Cream Butter and Sugar:

• In a large bowl, beat the granulated sugar and softened butter together until smooth and creamy. Beat in the eggs, one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.

Combine Dry Ingredients:

• Whisk together the flour and baking powder in a separate bowl.

Mix Dry Ingredients into Wet Ingredients:

• Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the creamed mixture, alternating with the milk, until just combined.

Assemble the Bread:

• Pour half of the batter into the prepared loaf pan. Add half of the apple mixture over the batter, then sprinkle half of the remaining brown sugar-cinnamon mixture on top.
• Pour the remaining batter over the apple layer and top with the remaining apple mixture, followed by the remaining brown sugar-cinnamon mixture.

Bake:

• Bake in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the loaf comes out clean.

Prepare the Glaze:

• While the bread is cooling, mix the powdered sugar, milk (or cream), and vanilla extract (if using) in a bowl until smooth. If the glaze is too thick, add a little more milk until it reaches a drizzling consistency.

Finish and Serve:

• Once the bread has cooled, drizzle the glaze over the top. Allow the glaze to set before slicing and serving.
