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 (for sprinkling)
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon (for sprinkling)
Glaze
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1 tablespoon milk
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat and Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan to prevent sticking and ensure even baking.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, salt, and ground cinnamon. Mix thoroughly to distribute the leavening and spices evenly.
- Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, vegetable oil, vanilla extract, and milk until smooth and well combined.
- Combine Wet and Dry: Gradually stir the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined to avoid overworking the batter which could make the bread tough.
- Fold in Apples: Gently fold the peeled, cored, and chopped apples into the batter, ensuring even distribution without breaking up the fruit pieces too much.
- Layer Batter and Sugar Topping: Pour half of the batter into the prepared loaf pan. In a small bowl, mix the brown sugar and cinnamon for the topping. Sprinkle half of this cinnamon sugar mixture evenly over the batter in the pan.
- Add Remaining Batter and Topping: Pour the remaining batter over the cinnamon sugar layer. Sprinkle the remaining cinnamon sugar mixture on top. Use a knife or skewer to swirl the layers, creating a marbled effect for visual appeal and flavor.
- Bake the Bread: Bake in the preheated oven for 50 to 60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. This ensures the bread is fully cooked but remains moist.
- Prepare the Glaze: While the bread cools, mix the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract together until smooth. This glaze adds a sweet finish and enhances the apple fritter flavor.
- Glaze and Serve: Once the bread is completely cooled, drizzle the glaze evenly over the top. Slice and serve your Amish Apple Fritter Bread, perfect with a cup of coffee or tea.
Notes
- For best results, use tart apples like Granny Smith to balance the sweetness.
- Make sure the bread has cooled before applying glaze to prevent it from melting and running off.
- You can substitute milk with almond or oat milk for a dairy-free option.
- Store any leftovers wrapped tightly at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for up to a week.
- This bread also freezes well—wrap tightly and freeze for up to 2 months.
