Ingredients:
For the Bread:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup light brown sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 large apples, peeled, cored, and chopped
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar (for apples)
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon (for apples)
For the Glaze:
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 2-3 tablespoons milk
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Directions:
- Preheat and Prepare Pan:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9×5-inch loaf pan to prevent sticking.
- Prepare Dry Ingredients:
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, light brown sugar, salt, baking powder, and ground cinnamon. Stir until well mixed.
- Prepare Wet Ingredients:
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, melted butter, milk, and vanilla extract. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined.
- Prepare the Apple Mixture:
- In a small bowl, toss the chopped apples with 1/4 cup granulated sugar and 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon.
- Assemble the Bread:
- Pour half of the batter into the prepared loaf pan. Layer with half of the apple mixture. Pour the remaining batter over the apples and top with the remaining apple mixture. Lightly press the apples into the batter with a spatula or spoon.
- Bake:
- Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Check the bread around the 50-minute mark to avoid overbaking.
- Cool the Bread:
- Allow the bread to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Prepare the Glaze:
- In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth. Adjust the consistency by adding more milk if necessary.
- Glaze the Bread:
- Drizzle the glaze over the cooled bread, allowing it to set before slicing.

Tips for a Perfect Apple Fritter Bread:
- Apple Choice: Choose tart apples like Granny Smith or a mix of sweet and tart for a balanced flavor.
- Mix Gently: Overmixing the batter can result in a dense loaf. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- Cooling: Letting the bread cool completely before glazing ensures the glaze sets properly and doesn’t melt into the bread.
