Step-by-Step Instructions

For The Best Amish Apple Fritter Bread

1. Preheat & Prep

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9×5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.

2. Prepare Apple Filling

In a small bowl, toss chopped apples with sugar and cinnamon. Set aside.

3. Mix the Cinnamon Swirl

In another bowl, combine brown sugar and cinnamon for the ribbon layer.

4. Make the Batter

In a mixing bowl, cream together butter and sugar until fluffy. Beat in eggs one at a time, then stir in vanilla.
In a separate bowl, whisk together flour and baking powder. Add dry ingredients to wet mixture, alternating with milk, until well combined.

5. Assemble the Layers

Pour half of the batter into the loaf pan. Add half the cinnamon swirl and half the apples. Lightly swirl with a knife. Repeat with remaining batter, apples, and swirl.

6. Bake to Golden Perfection

Bake for 50–60 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean. Cool for 10 minutes before removing from the pan.

7. Drizzle with Glaze (Optional but Amazing)

Whisk glaze ingredients until smooth. Drizzle over warm or cooled bread. Let set slightly before slicing.

Topping Ideas & Variations

🍯 Add a Caramel Drizzle

Drizzle caramel sauce instead of glaze for even richer flavor.

🥜 Nutty Crunch

Add chopped pecans or walnuts between layers for texture.

🍎 Switch the Fruit

Try pears, peaches, or berries for seasonal twists.

🧁 Make It Muffins

Turn the batter into muffins—adjust baking time to 18–22 minutes.
