Amish Apple Fritter Bread – Soft, Sweet, and Perfectly Spiced

  • Author: Dorothy Miller

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/2 cup (113g) unsalted butter, softened
  • 2/3 cup (133g) granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups (190g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 3/4 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 cup (120ml) milk
  • 2 medium apples, peeled, cored & diced (mix of tart & sweet)
  • 1/3 cup (67g) brown sugar
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 cup (60g) powdered sugar
  • 12 tbsp milk
  • 1/4 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line a 9×5-inch loaf pan with parchment paper.
  2. Make the cinnamon-apple mixture: In a bowl, toss diced apples with brown sugar and cinnamon. Set aside.
  3. Prepare the batter: In a large mixing bowl, cream together butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in eggs one at a time, then add vanilla.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together flour and baking powder. Gradually add dry ingredients to the butter mixture, alternating with milk, mixing until just combined.
  5. Assemble the loaf: Pour half of the batter into the loaf pan, top with half of the apple mixture, then repeat with remaining batter and apples. Lightly swirl with a knife for a marbled effect.
  6. Bake for 50–55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  7. Cool in pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
  8. Glaze: In a small bowl, whisk together powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla until smooth. Drizzle over cooled bread.
  9. Slice and enjoy warm or at room temperature.
