Amish Apple Fritter Bread
Amish Apple Fritter Bread is a comforting loaf combining tender apples, a cinnamon-sugar swirl, and a sweet glaze, making each bite a delightful treat.
Ingredients
For the bread:
- 1½ cups all-purpose flour
- ⅔ cup granulated sugar
- 2 tsp baking powder
- ½ tsp salt
- ½ cup 1 stick unsalted butter, melted
- 2 large eggs
- ½ cup milk
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 cups peeled chopped apples (about 2 medium apples, preferably Granny Smith)
For the cinnamon-sugar layer:
- ⅓ cup brown sugar
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
For the glaze:
- ¾ cup powdered sugar
- 3-4 tbsp milk or cream
Instructions
- Set the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x5-inch loaf pan. Peel and chop the apples into bite-sized pieces. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
- In another bowl, mix melted butter, eggs, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Don’t overmix.
- Pour half of the batter into the loaf pan. Top with half of the chopped apples and cinnamon-sugar. Repeat with the remaining batter, apples, and cinnamon-sugar.
- Bake for 60 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean. Cover with foil if the top browns too quickly.
- Whisk powdered sugar and milk (or cream) until smooth, adjusting the consistency as desired.
- Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. Drizzle the glaze over the cooled bread and slice into generous pieces.
