Apple Fritter Bread is soft and sweet, filled with apples, cinnamon, and brown sugar, baked in 60 minutes then drizzled with glaze.

We always have desserts baking in our kitchen, and right now we’re working on Easy Banana Bread (No Mixer!), Banana Nut Bread, and Vanilla Pound Cake!

APPLE FRITTER BREAD

Apple Fritter Bread is a sweet old-fashioned dessert bread that’s stuffed with an apple mixture made out of apples and cinnamon, then drizzled with a powdered sugar glaze. This is the perfect recipe to make ahead and take as a snack or quick breakfast, or serve as dessert. This bread takes a total time of about 75-80 minutes to make, but trust me it’s worth the wait!

HOW DO YOU STORE APPLE FRITTER bread?

You can store apple fritter bread on the counter for a day or two, but after that I would refrigerate it, wrapped tightly in an airtight container.

HOW LONG DOES APPLE FRITTER bread LAST?

This loaf will last for about a week, in an airtight container.

WHAT APPLES ARE BEST FOR APPLE bread?

I recommend using a sweet apple with a little bit of tartness, like granny smith, honeycrisp, or jonathans. I also like to peel the skin on the apples before baking with them, then toss in a tablespoon of lemon juice to keep them from turning brown.

CAN YOU FREEZE APPLE FRITTER bread?

Apple fritter bread is perfect for making ahead and freezing. Let your bread cool completely, then wrap it tightly in plastic wrap, then tinfoil. You can also cut the loaf into serving sizes, then wrap each piece individually to grab-and-go for a quick breakfast.

TIPS FOR MAKING APPLE FRITTER BREAD

• Instead of glaze, top this loaf with my caramel sauce for salted caramel apple fritters!
• You can make this in a loaf pan or a bundt pan, depending on your preference.
• Add nuts in the batter, and on top of the bread to add some extra crunchy texture. Try almonds, pecans, or walnuts with this recipe.
• Make sure to measure your all-purpose flour exactly, as this will affect the texture of the bread.
• Make sure to put the bread in a preheated oven, or it may not cook right.
• Replace the 1/2 cup milk with buttermilk, as the acid and the fat in the buttermilk work with the flour to create a much softer texture.
• Serve this warm with a scoop of my vanilla ice cream or easy whipped cream!
• Use this recipe in a muffin tin for apple fritter muffins. If you’re doing this, reduce the cooking time to 20-25 minutes.
• Add flavor with a teaspoon of apple pie spice or 1/4 teaspoon of ginger to the apple mixture.
• Replace the glaze with cream cheese frosting, adding a little bit of milk to make it more pourable if desired.
• Replace the butter with applesauce to lighten this recipe up.
• Insert a toothpick into the middle of the bread, if it comes out clean the bread is done baking.
• We’re topping this mixture with brown sugar, but you can make a sugar mixture out of brown sugar, cinnamon, butter, and pecans for a crunchy streusel topping.
• This recipe tops the bread with brown sugar, but you can cut the granulated sugar in half and replace it with half brown sugar to give the bread a deeper molasses flavor and moist texture.
