Ingredients
  

For the Batter
  • 1 cup unsalted butter Adds moisture and richness; substitute with dairy-free butter for a dairy-free version.
  • 1 cup granulated sugar Provides sweetness and helps create a tender crumb; can be reduced by 25% for a less sweet loaf.
  • 2 large eggs Bind the ingredients and contribute to the loaf's structure.
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract Enhances flavor; use vanilla bean paste for a more intense taste.
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour Gives structure to the bread; substitute with a gluten-free flour blend for a gluten-free version.
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder Leavening agent for a light texture.
  • 1/2 cup milk Adds moisture and richness; dairy-free milk can be used for a dairy-free option.
  • 3 cups apples (a mix of tart and sweet) Use Granny Smith and Honeycrisp for the best balance.
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar Adds depth and caramel flavor in the apple mixture; can use coconut sugar as an alternative.
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon Provides warmth and spice; add nutmeg or allspice for added flavor complexity.
For the Glaze
  • 1 cup powdered sugar Sweetens the glaze; adjust milk for desired consistency.
  • 2 tablespoons milk (for glaze) Helps achieve the right glaze texture.

Equipment

  • 9×5-inch loaf pan
  • Mixing bowl
  • wire rack

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions for Amish Apple Fritter Bread
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan with butter or cooking spray.
  2. In a mixing bowl, toss together diced apples, brown sugar, and ground cinnamon until well coated.
  3. In a large bowl, cream together unsalted butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in eggs and vanilla, then mix in dry ingredients and milk alternately until just combined.
  4. Pour half of the batter into the prepared pan, spread evenly. Sprinkle half of the apple mixture over, top with remaining batter, then finish with the rest of the apple mixture. Lightly swirl with a knife.
  5. Bake for about 50-55 minutes, checking with a toothpick for doneness. If the top browns too quickly, cover with foil.
  6. Once baked, cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack. Prepare glaze by mixing powdered sugar and milk until smooth, then drizzle over the loaf.

Notes

Don't overmix the batter and choose a mix of tart and sweet apples for best flavor. Allow the bread to cool completely before slicing to maintain glaze presentation.
