Bake this moist and tender apple fritter bread that captures the flavor of classic fritters without the frying. It features a rich cinnamon apple swirl and a simple sweet glaze.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 2 cups peeled, cored, and diced apples (like Granny Smith or Honeycrisp)
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon (for swirl)
  • 1/4 cup water (for swirl)
  • 1 cup powdered sugar (for glaze)
  • 2 tablespoons milk or cream (for glaze)
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (for glaze)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour a 9×5 inch loaf pan.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, 1 teaspoon cinnamon, and salt. Set aside.
  3. In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then mix in the vanilla extract.
  4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the milk, mixing just until combined. Do not overmix. Fold in the diced apples.
  5. Prepare the cinnamon swirl: In a small bowl, mix the brown sugar, 1 teaspoon cinnamon, and 1/4 cup water until a thick paste forms.
  6. Spread half of the batter into the prepared loaf pan. Dollop half of the cinnamon swirl mixture over the batter. Top with the remaining batter, then spread the remaining swirl mixture on top. Use a knife to gently swirl the mixture through the batter.
  7. Bake for 50 to 60 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  8. Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes before carefully turning it out onto a wire rack to cool completely.
  9. Prepare the glaze: Whisk together the powdered sugar, 2 tablespoons milk, and 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract until smooth. If the glaze is too thick, add milk a teaspoon at a time.
  10. Drizzle the vanilla glaze over the cooled bread before slicing and serving.

Notes

  • Use firm, slightly tart apples for the best texture and flavor contrast.
  • For an extra moist loaf, you can use sour cream instead of milk in the batter.
  • This bread freezes well once cooled and before glazing. Wrap tightly in plastic wrap and foil.
