Apple Fritter Bread Recipe

Megan
Apple fritter bread is a soft, moist and flavor packed apple quick bread with brown sugar cinnamon apples swirled throughout. The spiced apple fritter topping is also swirled on the apple bread giving you cozy, caramelized apple chunks in every bite. Make this Amish apple bread truly decadent by topping it with an easy vanilla bean glaze.

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 350 F (170 C). Line a 9 x 5 loaf pan with parchment paper, leaving a bit of overhang on two sides.

    1½ cup (180 g) all purpose flour, 1¼ teaspoon baking powder, ¼ teaspoon baking soda, ½ teaspoon salt
  • In a large mixing bowl, cream the sugar and butter together until light and fluffy. This takes about 2-3 minutes on medium speed.

    Bake the fritter apple bread for 50 - 60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cinnamon apple bread comes out with a few moist crumbs.
  • Cool the cake in the loaf pan for 15 minutes. Use the parchment sling to lift the bread out of the pan. Cool completely before topping with the vanilla bean glaze. 
  • In a mixing bowl, whisk the powdered sugar with vanilla bean paste and milk to your desired consistency. Drizzle over the cooled apple fritter loaf, slice and enjoy!
