This Amish Apple Fritter Bread is a delightful combination of tender, spiced apple-studded loaf bread topped with a sweet vanilla glaze. Perfect for breakfast, brunch, or an afternoon treat, this quick bread features a moist crumb with cinnamon, ginger, and fresh apples, encapsulated in a simple yet flavorful batter and finished with a glossy powdered sugar glaze.

Ingredients

Apple Mixture

  • 2 medium baking apples, peeled and chopped
  • 1/2 cup light brown sugar
  • 2 tsp ground cinnamon (heaping spoonfuls)
  • 1 tsp ground ginger

Bread Batter

  • 1 large egg, room temperature
  • 1/3 cup white granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup vegetable oil
  • 1/4 cup full-fat sour cream, room temperature
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp kosher salt

Powdered Sugar Glaze

  • 1 cup powdered sugar, sifted
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 3 tbsp milk

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Oven and Pan: Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease a loaf pan with nonstick spray or cake release to prevent sticking.
  2. Mix Apple Filling: In a medium bowl, combine the peeled and chopped apples with brown sugar, ground cinnamon, and ground ginger. Stir well to coat the apples evenly with the spices and sugar. Set aside.
  3. Combine Wet Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the egg, granulated sugar, vegetable oil, full-fat sour cream, and vanilla extract until smooth and well blended.
  4. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and kosher salt.
  5. Form Batter: Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients bowl and use a rubber spatula or wooden spoon to mix gently until just combined, being careful not to overmix for a tender crumb.
  6. Incorporate Apples: Fold approximately three-quarters of the apple-cinnamon mixture into the batter, saving the remaining apples for topping.
  7. Fill Pan and Top: Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and evenly spread it out. Then, sprinkle the remaining apple chunks evenly over the top of the batter to add texture and visual appeal.
  8. Bake the Bread: Place the loaf pan in the preheated oven and bake for 50 to 55 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the bread reaches 200 degrees F, indicating it is fully cooked.
  9. Cool the Bread: Remove the pan from the oven and let the bread cool in the pan for at least 30 minutes. For best flavor and texture, allow it to cool to room temperature before glazing and serving.
  10. Make the Glaze: In a small bowl, whisk together the sifted powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and milk until smooth and pourable. Adjust consistency by adding more powdered sugar if too thin.
  11. Glaze and Serve: Pour the vanilla glaze generously over the cooled apple fritter bread right before serving for a sweet, glossy finish that enhances every bite.

Notes

  • Use baking apples like Granny Smith or Honeycrisp for best texture and tartness.
  • Room temperature ingredients help the batter mix more evenly.
  • Be careful not to overmix the batter to maintain a tender crumb.
  • Check bread doneness by testing with a toothpick or verifying internal temperature reaches 200°F.
  • The glaze can be made thicker or thinner by adjusting powdered sugar and milk amounts to your preference.
  • Store leftovers tightly covered at room temperature for up to 2 days or refrigerate for up to a week.
  • This bread freezes well; wrap tightly and freeze for up to 3 months.
