Ingredients You’ll Need

To create this delicious bread, you’ll need some pantry staples and fresh apples. Here’s what you’ll need:

2 medium baking apples, peeled and chopped
1/2 cup light brown sugar
2 tsp ground cinnamon
1 tsp ground ginger
1 large egg, room temperature
1/3 cup white granulated sugar
1/4 cup vegetable oil
1/4 cup full-fat sour cream, room temperature
2 tsp vanilla extract
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp kosher salt

For the glaze:

1 cup powdered sugar, sifted
1 tsp vanilla extract
3 tbsp milk

Step-by-Step Instructions

Prepare Your Oven and Loaf Pan: Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease your loaf pan with nonstick spray or cake release to ensure easy removal.
Mix the Apple Filling: In a medium mixing bowl, combine the chopped apples, brown sugar, cinnamon, and ginger. Set this mixture aside to allow the flavors to meld.
Create the Batter: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the egg, granulated sugar, vegetable oil, sour cream, and vanilla extract until well combined. In a separate bowl, mix the flour, baking soda, and kosher salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined.
Incorporate the Apples: Gently fold in three-quarters of the apple-cinnamon mixture into the batter. Pour the batter into your prepared loaf pan, then top with the remaining apple chunks.
Bake: Place the loaf pan in the preheated oven and bake for 50-55 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 200 degrees F (93 degrees C). Allow the bread to cool in the pan for at least 30 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack.
Make the Glaze: In a small bowl, whisk together powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and milk until smooth. Adjust the consistency by adding more powdered sugar if needed.
Serve and Enjoy: Drizzle the glaze generously over the cooled apple fritter bread just before serving.

Tips for Success

Choose the Right Apples: Opt for baking apples that hold their shape when cooked. Varieties like Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, Empire, and Pink Lady are excellent choices.
Storage: Once cooled, wrap the bread in plastic wrap and store it on the countertop for up to two days or in the fridge for up to a week.
Freezing: To freeze, wrap the cooled bread in multiple layers of plastic wrap and place it in a freezer-safe bag. It will keep for up to three months. Thaw overnight at room temperature before serving.

Description

Celebrate apple season with this delicious treat: a country apple fritter bread covered in a sweet glaze. It’s a fabulous gift and an absolutely delicious addition to your holiday table!

Instructions

Make Apple Fritter Bread
Preheat your oven to 350°F. Prepare your loaf pan with nonstick spray or cake release.
In a medium mixing bowl, mix the chopped apples, brown sugar, cinnamon, and ginger together. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the egg, granulated sugar, vegetable oil, sour cream, and vanilla extract until well combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and kosher salt, then add it to the bowl of wet ingredients. Use a rubber spatula or wooden spoon to mix in the dry ingredients until almost completely mixed in.

Fold in 3/4 of the apple-cinnamon mixture into the batter, then pour into your prepared loaf pan.
Top the apple fritter bread with the remaining apple chunks and bake for 50–55 minutes, or until the internal temperature is 200°F.
Let the cake cool in the pan for at least 30 minutes before serving. (I personally like waiting an hour or until it’s room temperature.)

Make the Powdered Sugar Glaze
In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and milk until it comes to a smooth consistency. If it’s too thin for your liking, sift in a little more powdered sugar.
Pour the glaze over the fritter bread generously right before serving.
