Ingredients
Scale
- 1/3 cup (67g) brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 2/3 cup (133g) granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup (113g) unsalted butter, softened
- 2 large eggs, room temperature
- 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 cups (180g) all-purpose flour
- 1 3/4 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 cup (120ml) milk
- 2 large Granny Smith apples, peeled and diced (about 2 cups)
- 1/2 cup (60g) powdered sugar
- 1–3 tablespoons milk or cream
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Step 1: Prepare Your Baking Setup Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 9×5 inch loaf pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal, then lightly spray with non-stick cooking spray. This preparation ensures your **Awesome Country Apple Fritter Bread** won’t stick and makes cleanup a breeze.
- Step 2: Create the Cinnamon-Sugar Mixture In a small bowl, mix together the brown sugar and cinnamon until well combined. This mixture will create those irresistible pockets of spiced sweetness throughout your bread that give it that authentic fritter flavor. Set this aside – you’ll be sprinkling it between layers shortly.
- Step 3: Prepare the Apple Mixture Peel and dice your Granny Smith apples into roughly 1/4-inch pieces. You want them small enough to soften while baking but large enough to maintain some texture. Toss the diced apples with about 2 tablespoons of the cinnamon-sugar mixture and set aside. This pre-coating infuses the apples with flavor before they even hit the batter.
- Step 4: Make Your Batter In a large bowl, cream together the butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in vanilla extract. In a separate bowl, whisk together flour and baking powder, then gradually add to the wet ingredients, alternating with milk. Mix just until combined – overmixing will develop gluten and make your bread tough.
- Step 5: Layer and Swirl Pour half the batter into your prepared loaf pan. Top with half the apple mixture and sprinkle with half the remaining cinnamon-sugar. Pour the remaining batter on top, followed by the rest of the apples and cinnamon-sugar. Take a knife and swirl it through the batter in a figure-eight pattern just 2-3 times. This creates the distinctive rippled effect that makes each slice of your **Awesome Country Apple Fritter Bread** unique.
- Step 6: Bake to Perfection Bake for 50-60 minutes until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs. The top should be golden brown and slightly cracked. If the bread is browning too quickly, tent with foil after about 30 minutes. Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
- Step 7: Glaze and Serve While the bread is still warm (but not hot), whisk together the glaze ingredients until smooth, adjusting the milk amount to reach your desired consistency. Pour the glaze over the top, allowing it to drip down the sides. Let it set for about 10 minutes before slicing into your magnificent **Awesome Country Apple Fritter Bread**.
