Making Perfect Apple Fritter Bread

This delicious cinnamon apple bread, topped with a sweet vanilla glaze, is perfect for a cozy breakfast or a delightful dessert. It’s easy to make and filled with the warm flavors of cinnamon and apple.

Ingredients:

For the Bread:

  • 1/3 cup of brown sugar
  • 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • 2 apples (preferably a sweet type like Honeycrisp or Gala), peeled, cored, and chopped
  • 2/3 cup of granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 3/4 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 cup milk

For the Glaze:

  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 2-3 tablespoons milk or cream
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)

Preparation:

Preheat the Oven and Prepare the Pan:

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Grease and flour a 9x5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.

Prepare the Apple Mixture:

  1. In a small bowl, mix together the brown sugar and ground cinnamon. Set aside.
  2. In another bowl, toss the chopped apples with 2 teaspoons of the brown sugar-cinnamon mixture until they are well coated. Set aside.

Make the Batter:

  1. In a large bowl, beat the softened butter and granulated sugar together until smooth and creamy.
  2. Beat in the eggs, one at a time, and then mix in the vanilla extract.
  3. In another bowl, whisk together the flour and baking powder.
  4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the creamed mixture, alternating with the milk, and mix until just combined.

Assemble the Bread:

  1. Pour half of the batter into the prepared loaf pan.
  2. Sprinkle half of the apple mixture over the batter, then top with half of the remaining brown sugar-cinnamon mixture.
  3. Pour the remaining batter over the apple layer, top with the remaining apple mixture, and sprinkle with the remaining brown sugar-cinnamon mixture.

Bake:

  1. Bake in the preheated oven for 50 to 60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the loaf comes out clean.

Prepare the Glaze:

  1. While the bread cools, mix together the powdered sugar, milk (or cream), and vanilla extract (if using) in a bowl until smooth. If the glaze is too thick, add a little more milk until it reaches a drizzling consistency.

Finish and Serve:

  1. Once the bread has cooled, drizzle the glaze over the top.
  2. Allow the glaze to set before slicing and serving.

Enjoy this delightful cinnamon apple bread with a cup of coffee or tea, or serve it as a sweet treat for any occasion!
