How to Make Country Apple Fritter Bread
Step 1: Preheat and Prepare
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan.
Step 2: Prepare the Apple Mixture
In a small bowl, toss the chopped apples with sugar and cinnamon. Set aside.
Step 3: Make the Batter
- In a mixing bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
- Beat in the eggs and vanilla extract until well combined.
- In another bowl, whisk together the flour and baking powder.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, alternating with milk, mixing until just combined.
Step 4: Assemble the Bread
- Pour half of the batter into the loaf pan.
- Add half of the cinnamon-sugar apple mixture on top.
- Sprinkle half of the brown sugar-cinnamon mixture over the apples.
- Repeat with the remaining batter, apples, and cinnamon-sugar mixture.
- Use a knife to gently swirl the layers together for a marbled effect.
Step 5: Bake
Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
Step 6: Make the Glaze
Whisk together powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla. Drizzle over the cooled bread for an extra sweet touch!
