Apple Fritter Bread
Description
Apple Fritter Bread blends creamy, butter-enriched batter with tart diced apples embraced in cinnamon and brown sugar. This loaf uses typical quick-bread ingredients like flour, baking soda, eggs, and milk but gains complexity from the mingled apple and cinnamon mixture. Baking in a loaf pan allows the batter to rise gently around the apples, creating pockets of tender fruit throughout the bread. The topping of brown sugar adds a caramelized, crunchy layer as it bakes.
Once cooled, the bread is drizzled with a simple powdered sugar and water glaze which adds a smooth sweetness that enhances the cinnamon spice and balances the tartness of the apples. The texture ranges from soft and fluffy in the base to slightly crunchy on the top, offering variety with each bite.
This bread works well sliced for breakfast or a light dessert, and it pairs nicely with coffee or tea. The presence of apples and cinnamon make it especially fitting for cooler weather seasons.
Using fresh Granny Smith apples provides a crisp tartness that stands out against the sweeter batter and topping. Taking care to not overmix the batter ensures the bread stays tender. Baking time is about 55-60 minutes to develop a golden crust while keeping the inside moist.
Ingredients
- 8 tablespoons butter unsalted
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup milk whole
- 2 egg large
- 1 1/2 cups flour
- 1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
- 1 cup brown sugar , divided
- 2 apple peeled and chopped, Granny Smith variety
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons water
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees and spray a 9x5 loaf pan with baking spray.
- In your stand mixer cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy, about 1 minute on medium speed before adding the vanilla, milk and eggs in one at a time.
- Add in the flour and baking soda until just combined.
- Combine your chopped apples with cinnamon and half the brown sugar in a small bowl then pour half the batter into the loaf pan, add in half the apples evenly over the pan, pour in the remaining batter then place the remaining apples over the batter.
- Top with the remaining brown sugar and bake for 55-60 minutes.
- Once cooled and removed from the loaf pan whisk together the powdered sugar and water and drizzle the mixture over the loaf.
Notes
- Use Granny Smith apples peeled and chopped for best tartness and texture.
- Spray or grease the loaf pan well to prevent sticking.
- Be sure to drizzle the glaze only after the bread has fully cooled to avoid melting it away.
- Setting a timer during baking helps avoid under or overcooking the loaf.
