Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • For the Bread:
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 2 large eggs
  • ½ cup vegetable oil
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ½ cup milk
  • 2 apples peeled, cored, and chopped
  • For the Cinnamon Sugar Swirl:
  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • For the Glaze:
  • ½ cup powdered sugar
  • 1 tablespoon milk
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a 9x5-inch loaf pan.
  2. In a small bowl, mix brown sugar and cinnamon for the swirl and set aside.
  3. Whisk together eggs, sugar, melted butter, and vanilla extract in a large bowl.
  4. Add flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
  5. Gently fold in chopped apples.
  6. Layer the batter and cinnamon-sugar swirl in the prepared pan, swirling gently.
  7. Bake for 50–60 minutes, or until golden and a toothpick comes out clean.
  8. Cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • Storage: Store the Amish Apple Fritter Bread in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3-4 days. For longer storage, refrigerate it for up to 1 week or freeze it for up to 3 months.
  • Reheating: To reheat, warm individual slices in the microwave for 15-20 seconds or in a 300°F (150°C) oven for about 10 minutes for a freshly baked taste.
  • Apple Variety: For best results, use firm apples like Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, or Gala. Granny Smith apples provide a tart contrast, while the other varieties offer sweetness.
  • Optional Add-ins: Feel free to add chopped nuts like walnuts or pecans for extra texture, or mix in raisins along with the apples for added flavor.
  • Glaze Customization: If you prefer a thicker glaze, simply add more powdered sugar until you reach your desired consistency. For a tangy twist, add a few drops of lemon juice to the glaze.
