Description
Amish Apple Fritter Bread: A moist, cinnamon-spiced loaf loaded with apples, swirled with cinnamon sugar, and finished with a glossy glaze.
Ingredients
Scale
- ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 ¾ tsp baking powder
- ½ cup milk
- 2 large apples, peeled and diced
- 2 tbsp granulated sugar
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- ⅓ cup brown sugar
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- ½ cup powdered sugar
- 1–2 tbsp milk
- ½ tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line a 9×5-inch loaf pan.
- Cream butter and sugar in a large bowl until light and fluffy. Beat in eggs and vanilla.
- Stir in flour and baking powder, alternating with milk, until batter is smooth.
- Toss diced apples with sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl.
- Mix brown sugar and cinnamon in another bowl for the swirl.
- Pour half the batter into the loaf pan. Add half the apples and half the swirl topping. Repeat layers, then lightly swirl with a knife.
- Bake 50–60 minutes, until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let cool 15 minutes.
- Whisk glaze ingredients until smooth and drizzle over cooled bread before slicing.
Notes
- Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days or refrigerate for up to 5–7 days.
- For a make-ahead option, assemble the loaf, cover, and refrigerate overnight before baking.
- Do not overmix batter to keep the bread tender.
- Swap in tart apples for a tangier flavor if desired.
