Tips

  • Choose firm apples that hold their shape during baking.
  • Don’t overmix the batter after adding the flour.
  • Cool the loaf completely before adding the glaze.
  • Let the bread rest for a few minutes after glazing before slicing.

Ingredients You'll Need

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1½ teaspoons baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ cup butter, softened
  • ¾ cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ½ cup sour cream
  • 1½ cups peeled and diced apples
  • ⅓ cup brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 cup powdered sugar

Step-by-Step

  1. Prepare the pan: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan. Mix brown sugar and cinnamon together in a small bowl.
  2. Make the batter: Whisk flour, baking powder, and salt. In another bowl, beat butter and granulated sugar until creamy, then add eggs, vanilla, and sour cream.
  3. Combine: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture and stir just until combined. Gently fold in the diced apples.
  4. Layer: Pour half the batter into the loaf pan and sprinkle with half the cinnamon-sugar mixture. Add the remaining batter and finish with the remaining cinnamon sugar.
  5. Bake: Bake for 55–65 minutes, until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Cool in the pan for 15 minutes before transferring to a rack.
  6. Glaze and serve: Whisk powdered sugar with a small amount of milk or water until smooth. Drizzle over the completely cooled bread, then slice and serve.

Garnish & Serving

  • Drizzle generously with vanilla glaze.
  • Sprinkle with a little extra cinnamon.
  • Serve warm with butter or vanilla ice cream.

Storage

Store Apple Fritter Bread tightly covered at room temperature for up to 3 days. Refrigerate it for up to 5 days if your kitchen is warm. Individual slices can be frozen for up to 3 months; thaw at room temperature and warm gently before serving.

Make Ahead

Bake the loaf a day ahead and keep it tightly covered. Add the glaze shortly before serving for the freshest finish.

Variations

  • Caramel Apple Fritter Bread: Drizzle caramel sauce over the finished loaf.
  • Apple Pecan Bread: Add chopped pecans to the cinnamon-sugar layer.
  • Maple Apple Bread: Replace the vanilla glaze with a simple maple glaze.

Serving Pairings

  • Coffee: A rich cup balances the sweet glaze beautifully.
  • Chai tea: Complements the warm cinnamon and apple flavors.
  • Vanilla ice cream: Turns each slice into an easy dessert.
