Apple Fritter Bread
Description
Apple Fritter Bread combines peeled, chopped tart apples with a cake batter made from sugar, softened butter, eggs, milk, oil, and vanilla. The dry ingredients include flour, baking powder, cinnamon, ginger, and salt, creating a warmly spiced batter.
Half the batter is poured into a greased loaf pan, topped with half the apples and streusel—made of brown sugar, pecans, cinnamon, and nutmeg—then layered with the remaining batter, apples, and streusel. The layering presses apples into the batter, producing texture variations and flavor bursts.
After baking at 350°F, the bread is cooled and finished with a simple powdered sugar glaze, made by mixing powdered sugar and milk, providing light sweetness and moisture. The flavors combine fruity tartness with spice and crunchy nutty topping, making it suitable for serving at breakfast, brunch, or as a snack.
Ingredients
Streusel Topping
- ⅓ cup light brown sugar
- ½ cup pecans or walnuts, chopped
- 2 tsp ground cinnamon
- ¼ tsp ground nutmeg
Apple Bread
- ⅔ cup granulated sugar
- ½ cup butter softened to room temp, but not at all melted
- 2 egg large
- ½ cup milk
- 2 TB canola oil
- 2 tsp vanilla extract pure
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- ½ tsp ground ginger
- ¼ tsp table salt
- 3 apple peeled and chopped, Granny Smith variety
Glaze
- ½ cup powdered sugar
- 1 TB milk more or less
Instructions
- Make the streusel topping by combining all topping ingredients in a bowl; stir to combine well. Set aside.
- Preheat oven to 350F with rack on lower middle position. Grease a 9x5 loaf pan. Set aside.
- In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with paddle attachment, beat sugar and butter on medium-high speed until smooth and creamy. Beat eggs in 1 at a time until combined. Beat in milk, oil, and vanilla until incorporated.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, ginger, and salt until well combined. Add flour mixture into the butter/egg mixture. Beat on low speed just until combined. Do not over-mix. Use a rubber spatula to scrape down sides and fold batter just until no flour streaks remain.
- Pour half of the batter into greased loaf pan. Add half of the apples in an even layer and press down on them so they "stick" to batter. Sprinkle half of the Streusel Topping over apples. Pour remaining batter evenly on top. Press in the remaining apples, followed by the remaining Streusel Topping.
- Bake 60-70 minutes or just until a toothpick inserted in center of loaf comes out with a few tender crumbs attached. Cool loaf in pan completely before removing from pan.
- While loaf is cooling, make the glaze. Mix powdered sugar and milk together until it is a drizzle consistency. Add a bit more milk if needed to thin it; add a bit more powdered sugar to thicken. Drizzle glaze over cooled bread.
