Sweet Apple Fritter Bread

Looking for a snug, fall-inspired goodie? This Amish Apple Fritter Bread hits the spot. It's loaded with sweet, cinnamon-coated apple bits in a tender, juicy loaf that works great as a morning bite or after-dinner sweet!

Components

• 2 Medium Baking Apples: Skin removed and diced into small chunks for juicy bites throughout your loaf.
• ½ Cup Light Brown Sugar: Gives a rich, molasses-like sweetness to your apple mix.
• 2 Teaspoons Ground Cinnamon: A generous amount for that classic fall warmth.
• 1 Teaspoon Ground Ginger: Adds a zingy kick that works with the cinnamon beautifully.
• 1 Large Egg: Let it come to room temp first; it'll make your bread sturdy and rich.
• ⅓ Cup White Granulated Sugar: Makes the bread base pleasantly sweet.
• ¼ Cup Vegetable Oil: Creates that super soft, moist texture we all want.
• ¼ Cup Full-Fat Sour Cream: Brings moisture and a little tang to cut through sweetness.
• 2 Teaspoons Vanilla Extract: Gives that homey scent everyone loves.
• 1 Cup All-Purpose Flour: Forms the base that holds everything together while staying fluffy.
• 1 Teaspoon Baking Soda: Gets your bread nice and puffy.
• ½ Teaspoon Kosher Salt: Boosts all other flavors and keeps sweetness in check.

Topping Mix

• 1 Cup Powdered Sugar: Run it through a sifter to avoid any clumps in your drizzle.
• 1 Teaspoon Vanilla Extract: Brings warmth and depth to the sugary mix.
• 3 Tablespoons Milk: Controls how thick or thin your topping turns out.

Directions

Step 1:

Warm up your oven to 350°F (175°C). Get your loaf pan ready with non-stick spray or cake release.

Step 2:

Mix your diced apples with brown sugar, cinnamon, and ginger in a bowl. Make sure all apple pieces get coated evenly, then put aside.

Step 3:

In a bigger bowl, mix the egg, white sugar, oil, sour cream, and vanilla until they're all blended together nicely.

Step 4:

Combine flour, baking soda, and salt in a separate container. Slowly add this mix to your wet stuff, stirring with a spatula just until everything comes together.

Step 5:

Carefully stir about ¾ of your apple mixture into the batter. Pour everything into your loaf pan, then scatter the leftover apple mix on top.

Step 6:

Let it bake for 50-55 minutes. Check if it's done by poking the middle with a toothpick—it should come out clean, and the inside temp should hit 200°F (93°C). Let it cool in the pan for at least half an hour.

Sweet Icing Finish

Step 7:

Mix powdered sugar, vanilla, and milk in a small bowl until smooth. Want it thicker? Just throw in a bit more powdered sugar.

Step 8:

Wait for your bread to cool down to room temp, then pour the icing all over the top right before you serve it. Now you can enjoy all those warm, spicy flavors!

Eating and Keeping Fresh

• Eating: Cut into slices and eat while still warm for maximum yumminess. Goes great with coffee or tea!
• Keeping Fresh: Keep in a sealed container on your counter for up to 3 days, or in your fridge for a week.
• Freezing: Wrap single slices in plastic and stick them in a freezer bag for up to 3 months. Thaw in your fridge overnight or warm up in the microwave.
