There’s just something so comforting about the smell of apples and cinnamon wafting through the house, especially on a cool fall day. This apple fritter bread is a lovely twist on the classic donut shop favorite but in a loaf form that’s perfect for slicing and sharing with family and friends. It’s a wonderful treat for breakfast, a snack, or even dessert, and it’s a great way to use up those extra apples you might have from a recent trip to the orchard.
This apple fritter bread pairs wonderfully with a hot cup of coffee or tea for a cozy breakfast. If you’re looking to make it more of a complete meal, try serving it with a side of scrambled eggs or an egg casserole to add some protein. For a more decadent twist, consider adding a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream when you serve it as a dessert.
Apple Fritter Bread
Servings: 8-10 slices
Ingredients
1/3 cup light brown sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
2/3 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
2 large eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 3/4 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 cup milk
2 cups peeled and chopped apples (choose your favorite variety)
1/2 cup powdered sugar
2-3 teaspoons milk or cream
Directions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan.
In a small bowl, mix together the light brown sugar and cinnamon. Set aside.
In a larger mixing bowl, cream together the granulated sugar and butter until light and fluffy.
Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition, then stir in the vanilla extract.
In another bowl, whisk together the flour and baking powder. Gradually add this to the wet mixture, alternating with the 1/2 cup of milk, starting and ending with the flour mixture. Mix just until combined.
Pour half of the batter into the prepared loaf pan. Add half of the chopped apples on top, followed by half of the cinnamon-sugar mixture.
