How to Make Delicious Apple Fritter Bread

Ingredients

Scale

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

  1. Preheat the Oven and Prepare the Pan:
    • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9×5-inch loaf pan, or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
  2. Mix Brown Sugar and Cinnamon:
    • In a small bowl, mix together the brown sugar and ground cinnamon. Set aside.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. Combine Dry Ingredients:
    • Whisk together the flour and baking powder in a separate bowl.
  6. Mix Dry Ingredients into Wet Ingredients:
    • Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the creamed mixture, alternating with the milk, until just combined.
  7. 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.
  8. Bake:
    • Bake in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the loaf comes out clean.
  9. 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.
  10. Finish and Serve:
    • Once the bread has cooled, drizzle the glaze over the top. Allow the glaze to set before slicing and serving.
