 Apple Fritter Bread

  • Author: Lusine Svetlana

Description

Country Apple Fritter Bread is a warm, comforting quick bread inspired by the classic apple fritter donut. This homemade loaf features tender buttery bread layered with cinnamon-sugar apples and finished with a sweet old-fashioned glaze. Each slice delivers soft cake-like texture, pockets of juicy apples, and swirls of cinnamon brown sugar that taste like they came straight from a bakery.

Ingredients

Brown Sugar Cinnamon Swirl

  • 1/3 cup brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • Apple Bread Batter
  • 1/2 cup butter, softened
  • 2/3 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 eggs, room temperature
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 3/4 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 cup milk or almond milk, room temperature

Apple Filling

  • 2 large apples, peeled and chopped small (Granny Smith recommended)
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon

Old-Fashioned Cream Glaze

  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 1–3 tablespoons milk or cream

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
  2. In a small bowl mix brown sugar and cinnamon together and set aside.
  3. In another bowl whisk together flour and baking powder.
  4. In a separate large bowl beat butter and granulated sugar until light and creamy.
  5. Add eggs one at a time mixing well after each addition.
  6. Stir in the vanilla extract.
  7. Gradually mix in the flour mixture alternating with the milk until the batter becomes smooth.
  8. In a separate bowl toss the chopped apples with sugar and cinnamon.
  9. Pour half of the batter into the prepared loaf pan and spread evenly.
  10. Add half of the apple mixture on top of the batter.
  11. Sprinkle half of the brown sugar cinnamon mixture over the apples.
  12. Pour the remaining batter into the pan and spread gently.
  13. Add the remaining apple mixture and sprinkle the remaining cinnamon sugar mixture on top.
  14. Use a knife to lightly swirl the layers together.
  15. Bake for about 55–60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  16. Allow the bread to cool in the pan for about 15 minutes then transfer to a wire rack.
  17. Mix powdered sugar with milk or cream to make the glaze.
  18. Drizzle glaze over the cooled loaf before slicing and serving.

Notes

  • Serve the bread slightly warm to enhance the apple and cinnamon flavor. It pairs well with coffee, tea, or warm milk. Slice the loaf thick for a bakery-style presentation. For a dessert option, serve with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
  • Store leftover bread in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. Refrigerate for up to 5 days to maintain freshness. To reheat, microwave slices for about 15 seconds or warm them lightly in the oven.
  • This bread also freezes well. Wrap the loaf tightly in plastic wrap and foil before freezing. It can be frozen for up to 3 months. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator before serving.
