• servings: 8 servings
• active time: 20 minutes
• total time: 1 hour 15 minutes

Ingredients

2 cups (240g) all-purpose flour, sifted for lightness

1 tablespoon (12g) baking powder, to help it rise

1/2 teaspoon (3g) salt, for balance

1 teaspoon (2g) ground cinnamon, for that warm spice kick

2/3 cup (133g) granulated sugar, for sweetness

1/3 cup (75g) unsalted butter, softened to room temp

2 large eggs, at room temperature for easier mixing

1/2 cup (120ml) whole milk, for moisture

1 teaspoon (5ml) vanilla extract, for depth of flavor

2 medium apples, peeled, cored, and diced (about 2 cups)

1/3 cup (67g) brown sugar, packed tight

1 teaspoon (2g) ground cinnamon, for that fritter vibe

1 cup (120g) powdered sugar, for a smooth finish

2-3 tablespoons (30-45ml) milk, adjust for desired thickness

1/2 teaspoon (2.5ml) vanilla extract, for a hint of sweetness

Directions

STEP 1: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan. Line it with parchment paper for easy lifting. Peel and dice the apples and set aside.

STEP 2: In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon. In a larger bowl, beat the butter and granulated sugar until fluffy. Add eggs one at a time, then mix in the milk and vanilla. Scrape down the sides for even blending.

STEP 3: Slowly mix the dry ingredients into the wet until just combined. Pour half the batter into the loaf pan, sprinkle with half the apples and cinnamon-sugar mix, then repeat for layering.

STEP 4: Bake for 50-60 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.

STEP 5: Whisk together powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla for the glaze. Drizzle the glaze over the cooled loaf. Slice and serve the Easy Amish Apple Fritter Bread.
