Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Wet Ingredients

  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup milk

Fruit

  • 2 apples, peeled, cored, and chopped

Topping

  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon

Glaze

  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 tablespoon milk
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat and prepare pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan lightly with butter or non-stick spray to ensure the bread doesn’t stick.
  2. Mix dry ingredients: In a large bowl, combine 2 cups of all-purpose flour, 1 cup granulated sugar, 1 tablespoon baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon. Whisk them together until well blended.
  3. Combine wet ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk 2 large eggs, 1/2 cup vegetable oil, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and 1/2 cup milk until the mixture is smooth and homogeneous.
  4. Combine wet and dry: Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. Avoid overmixing to keep the bread tender.
  5. Add apples: Fold in the 2 peeled, cored, and chopped apples evenly through the batter.
  6. Layer batter and topping: Pour half of the batter into the prepared loaf pan and spread it evenly. In a small bowl, mix 1 tablespoon brown sugar with 1 teaspoon cinnamon. Sprinkle half of this cinnamon sugar blend over the batter.
  7. Add remaining batter and topping: Pour the remaining batter on top and sprinkle the remaining cinnamon sugar mixture evenly over it.
  8. Create swirl effect: Use a knife or skewer to gently swirl the cinnamon sugar through the batter, giving it a marbled fritter effect.
  9. Bake: Place the loaf pan in the preheated oven and bake for 50 to 60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  10. Prepare glaze: While the bread is cooling, combine 1/2 cup powdered sugar, 1 tablespoon milk, and 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract in a small bowl. Whisk until smooth.
  11. Glaze the bread: Once the bread has cooled completely, drizzle the prepared glaze over the top evenly.
  12. Serve: Slice the bread and serve. Enjoy this delicious apple fritter bread warm or at room temperature.

Notes

  • Use tart apples like Granny Smith for a nice balance of sweetness and tartness.
  • Make sure not to overmix the batter to keep the bread tender and moist.
  • The glaze adds extra sweetness but can be omitted for a less sweet version.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for up to a week.
  • For a dairy-free version, substitute milk with almond or oat milk and use a vegan butter or spray for the pan.
