Instructions

Make Apple Fritter Bread
    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F. Prepare your loaf pan with nonstick spray or cake release.
  2. In a medium mixing bowl, mix the chopped apples, brown sugar, cinnamon, and ginger together. Set aside.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the egg, granulated sugar, vegetable oil, sour cream, and vanilla extract until well combined.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and kosher salt, then add it to the bowl of wet ingredients. Use a rubber spatula or wooden spoon to mix the in dry ingredients until almost completely mixed in.
  5. Fold in 3/4 the amount of the apple-cinnamon mixture into the batter, then pour into your prepared loaf pan.
  6. Top the apple fritter bread with the remaining apple chunks and bake for 50-55 minutes, or until the internal temperature is 200 degrees F.
  7. Let the cake cool in the pan for at least 30 minutes before serving. I personally like waiting an hour or until it's room temperature.
Make the Powdered Sugar Glaze
  1. In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and milk until it comes to a smooth consistency. If it's too thin for your liking, sift in a little more powdered sugar.
  2. Pour the glaze over the fritter bread generously right before serving.

Notes

  • Use baking apples like Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, Empire, or Pink Lady for best texture.
  • This recipe can be baked in an 8x4 or 9x5 loaf pan, or a 6 cup bundt pan for cake-style presentation.
  • Let the bread cool completely before wrapping for room temperature (2 days) or refrigeration (1 week) storage.
  • Freeze well-wrapped bread for up to 3 months; thaw overnight on the counter before serving.
  • Check doneness by ensuring the internal temperature reaches 200°F using a thermometer.
