Ingredients
Scale
Batter Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 cups peeled and diced apples
Glaze Ingredients
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1-2 tbsp milk
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) to prepare for baking the apple fritter bread.
- Combine Dry Ingredients: In a bowl, mix together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon until well blended.
- Mix Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk melted unsalted butter with sugar, brown sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth and combined.
- Combine Dry and Wet: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring gently to form a consistent batter without overmixing.
- Fold in Apples: Carefully fold the peeled and diced apples into the batter, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout.
- Prepare Loaf Pan: Grease a loaf pan thoroughly to prevent sticking, then pour the batter evenly into it.
- Bake the Bread: Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Cool the Bread: Remove the loaf from the oven and allow it to cool completely in the pan before applying the glaze.
- Make and Apply Glaze: Mix powdered sugar with 1 to 2 tablespoons of milk to create a smooth glaze. Drizzle it over the cooled bread for a sweet finishing touch.
Notes
- Ensure apples are peeled to avoid a tough texture in the bread.
- Do not overmix the batter to keep the bread tender and moist.
- The glaze consistency can be adjusted by adding more milk if needed.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days to maintain freshness.
- For added texture, you can sprinkle chopped nuts before baking if desired.
