Description

A moist and delicious Amish Apple Fritter Bread filled with cinnamon-spiced apples and topped with a sweet vanilla glaze. Perfect for fall baking!


Ingredients

Scale
  • For the Bread:

    • 2 medium baking apples (peeled & chopped)
    • ½ cup light brown sugar
    • 2 teaspoons cinnamon
    • 1 teaspoon ground ginger
    • 1 large egg (room temperature)
    • ⅓ cup white granulated sugar
    • ¼ cup vegetable oil
    • ¼ cup full-fat sour cream (room temperature)
    • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
    • 1 cup all-purpose flour
    • 1 teaspoon baking soda
    • ½ teaspoon kosher salt
  • For the Glaze:

    • 1 cup powdered sugar (sifted)
    • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
    • 3 tablespoons milk (whole milk or dairy-free alternative)

Instructions

  • Prepare the apples: Toss chopped apples with brown sugar, cinnamon, and ginger. Set aside.
  • Mix wet ingredients: In a bowl, whisk egg, granulated sugar, vegetable oil, sour cream, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  • Combine dry ingredients: In another bowl, mix flour, baking soda, and salt. Slowly add to the wet ingredients and stir until combined.
  • Fold in apples: Gently fold in three-quarters of the apple mixture.
  • Layer the batter: Pour half into a greased loaf pan, add remaining apples, then top with the rest of the batter. Swirl slightly with a knife.
  • Bake: Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 50-55 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  • Cool: Let it rest in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
  • Make the glaze: Whisk powdered sugar, vanilla, and milk until smooth. Drizzle over cooled bread and serve.

Notes

  • Use Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, or Pink Lady apples for the best results.
  • Don’t overmix the batter to keep the bread soft and moist.
  • Store at room temperature for 2 days, in the fridge for a week, or freeze for up to 3 months.
