Description

Soft, apple-studded bread swirled with cinnamon sugar and topped with a sweet glaze, reminiscent of a classic bakery apple fritter with a tender crumb and warm spices.

Ingredients

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tbsp baking powder
  • ½ tsp salt

Wet Ingredients

  • ½ cup butter, softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup milk

Fruit

  • 1 ½ cups chopped apples (preferably tart apples like Granny Smith)

Cinnamon Sugar Swirl

  • ⅓ cup brown sugar
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon

Glaze (Optional)

  • ½ cup powdered sugar
  • 1 tbsp milk

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Set your oven to 350 °F (175 °C) to prepare for baking the bread.
  2. Cream Butter and Sugar: In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy to create a smooth base.
  3. Add Eggs and Milk: Beat in the eggs one at a time followed by the milk, mixing until fully incorporated to form a smooth batter.
  4. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt to evenly distribute the leavening agent.
  5. Incorporate Dry into Wet: Gradually stir the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined, being careful not to overmix to maintain a tender crumb.
  6. Fold in Apples: Gently fold the chopped apples into the batter, ensuring they’re evenly dispersed without crushing them.
  7. Prepare the Loaf Pan: Lightly grease a loaf pan to prevent sticking, or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
  8. Layer Batter and Swirl: Spoon half of the batter into the pan, then sprinkle half of the cinnamon sugar mixture over it. Add the remaining batter on top and finish with the remaining cinnamon sugar. Use a knife or skewer to gently swirl the cinnamon sugar through the batter for a marbled effect.
  9. Bake: Place the loaf pan in the preheated oven and bake for 50 to 55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  10. Cool and Glaze: Let the bread cool in the pan for about 15 minutes, then remove it to a wire rack. While slightly warm, mix the powdered sugar and milk to make a smooth glaze and drizzle it over the top for extra sweetness.

Notes

  • Use tart apples like Granny Smith to balance sweetness and add a slight tang.
  • The glaze is optional but adds a delightful sweetness and mimics the classic apple fritter finish.
  • Store leftover bread wrapped tightly at room temperature for up to 3 days or freeze for longer storage.
  • For a nutty crunch, consider adding chopped walnuts or pecans to the batter.
