Ingredients

Scale

Bread:

  • 1/3 cup brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 2 apples, peeled, cored, and diced
  • 2/3 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup butter, softened
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 3/4 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 cup milk

Glaze:

  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 2 tablespoons milk

Instructions

  1. Prepare Oven and Pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9×5 inch loaf pan to prevent sticking.
  2. Mix Brown Sugar and Cinnamon: In a small bowl, combine brown sugar and ground cinnamon. Toss the diced apples in a small amount of this mixture to coat evenly and infuse them with spice.
  3. Cream Sugar and Butter: In a medium bowl, beat the granulated sugar and softened butter until the mixture is light and fluffy. Add the eggs and vanilla extract, mixing thoroughly to combine.
  4. Combine Dry Ingredients: Whisk together the all-purpose flour and baking powder. Add this dry mixture alternately with the milk to the creamed butter mixture, mixing just until incorporated to maintain a tender texture.
  5. Layer the Batter: Pour half of the batter into the prepared loaf pan. Evenly scatter half of the coated apple mixture over the batter, then sprinkle half of the remaining brown sugar-cinnamon mixture on top. Repeat layering with the remaining batter, apple mixture, and finish with the last of the sugar-cinnamon mixture.
  6. Bake: Place the loaf pan in the preheated oven and bake for 50-60 minutes. The bread is done when a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  7. Cool: Allow the bread to cool in the pan on a wire rack for 15 minutes. Then carefully remove it from the pan and let it cool completely on the rack.
  8. Glaze and Serve: In a small bowl, mix the powdered sugar and milk to create a smooth glaze. Drizzle the glaze over the completely cooled bread. Slice and enjoy your delicious Apple Fritter Bread!

Notes

  • Ensure apples are diced evenly for uniform cooking.
  • Do not overmix the batter to keep the bread light and tender.
  • If you prefer a stronger cinnamon flavor, you can increase the ground cinnamon slightly in the sugar mixture.
  • Allow the bread to cool completely before glazing to prevent the glaze from melting into the bread.
  • This bread can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerated for up to a week.
