Ingredients

Scale

Batter

  • 1/2 cup butter, softened
  • 2/3 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 3/4 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/3 cup milk

Apple Filling

  • 2 large apples, peeled and chopped
  • 1/3 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Cinnamon Sugar Swirl

  • 1/3 cup brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Glaze

  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 1–2 tablespoons milk
  • 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9×5-inch loaf pan, or line it with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
  2. Cream Butter and Sugar: In a large bowl, beat the softened butter and granulated sugar together until the mixture is light and fluffy, creating a smooth base for your batter.
  3. Add Eggs and Vanilla: Beat in the eggs one at a time, ensuring each is fully incorporated, then stir in the vanilla extract for flavor.
  4. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour and baking powder to evenly distribute the leavening.
  5. Combine Batter: Gradually add the flour mixture to the butter mixture, alternating with the milk, and mix just until combined to avoid overworking the batter.
  6. Prepare Apple Filling: In a small bowl, combine the chopped apples with granulated sugar and cinnamon, coating the fruit for a sweet and spiced flavor burst.
  7. Layer Batter and Fillings: Pour half the batter into the prepared loaf pan. Spread half of the apple filling over it, then sprinkle half of the cinnamon sugar swirl mixture. Repeat with the remaining batter, apple filling, and cinnamon sugar.
  8. Swirl the Mixture: Use a knife to lightly swirl the layers together, creating a beautiful marbled effect without blending them completely.
  9. Bake: Place the loaf in the oven and bake for 55-60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  10. Cool: Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before glazing.
  11. Prepare Glaze: Whisk together powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  12. Glaze and Serve: Drizzle the glaze over the cooled bread. Slice and enjoy your delicious Amish Apple Fritter Bread.

Notes

  • Make sure not to overmix the batter to keep the bread tender.
  • Use firm apples like Granny Smith or Fuji for the best texture.
  • The glaze can be adjusted for thickness by adding more or less milk.
  • Store leftover bread wrapped in plastic at room temperature for up to 3 days.
  • This bread freezes well; wrap tightly and thaw before glazing.
