Hey there– When I was back at Laurel School, someone would often plant a big pink box of donuts on the teacher table in the morning to share around. I was OK passing up the glazed donuts or the sprinkle ones, but if there was an apple fritter in that box, I could seldom resist cutting off a wedge to have with my pre-class mug of tea.
So when I ran across this recipe for apple fritter bread, I was on it! Moist and fruity and also good with a big mug of tea.
APPLE FRITTER BREAD
2 large apples, peeled, cored, cut to chunks
2 tab. cinnamon, divided
1/3 cup brown sugar
2/3 cup sugar
1/2 cup canola oil
1 tsp. vanilla
2 eggs
1/2 cup milk
1 1/2 cups flour
1 3/4 tsp. baking powder
1/4 tsp. salt
glaze:
1/2 cup powdered sugar
1-2 tab. milk
Peel, core and cut the apples to smallish chunks and mix them in a bowl with 1 tablespoon of the cinnamon.
In another small bowl, mix together the 1/3 cup brown sugar and the remaining tablespoon of cinnamon.
Then in a larger mixing bowl stir together the 2/3 cup sugar, oil, vanilla, and eggs.. Next mix in the milk until it’s well blended. Finally stir in the flour, baking powder and salt.
Then in a standard 9″ by 5″ loaf pan that has been sprayed with cooking spray, pouring half of the batter. Spoon half of the apples over this first layer and then sprinkle on half of the brown sugar mixture. Repeat for a second layer– batter, apples & brown sugar.
Put the loaf pan into a 350 degree oven for 50 to 60 minutes until it’s cooked through (test with a sharp knife to see if it comes out clean).
With a fork whisk together the powdered sugar and 1 tablespoon of milk. If it seems too thick for the glaze you want, add another tiny splash of milk. After the bread has cooled for 10 minutes or so, drizzle on the glaze. And enjoy!
Wow, Rhonda! Apple fritters are my husband’s favorite bread/donut/roll… I am definitely going to be making this for him! (I love apple fritters, too!) 🙂
Oh I hope he likes it! We do love apple fritters and a couple months ago Larry went to get donuts while we were all in the waiting room for his mom’s surgery– and he came back with banana fritters! I’m glad that place is a long way from our house! Thanksgiving huts from here Daisy1
We love apple fritters!! And it’s such a great idea to make it into bread. I’m thinking that this could make a lovely Christmas present for my neighbors and coworkers, too! Thank you for sharing, Rhonda!
Hi Jasmine! That’s a good idea– good for neighbors at Christmas here… We’ve got our turkey and cranberries in the fridge here. Hope you have a wonderful time with your family in Lubbock!
This will be a wonderful treat to bake on Christmas morning! Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours, Rhonda!
HI Flora!! so much fun to see you here! Hoping you and your dear family have the delicious, memorable Thanksgiving there. Are you the cook?? Do yo go to someone’s house?? Hope it’s the best! hugs.
I’m seriously going to try this today Rhonda, it sounds delicious. When you say powdered sugar, do you mean icing sugar?
Hi Miriam– yep, it’s the confectioner’s sugar for making icing. — and loved your “Tiny Down Under” post– so many beautiful places where you live! wish we could drop in there…
Thanks Rhonda. I’m really looking forward to making this. I love apples and it’ll be a nice change from my banana and raspberry bread that my kids are tired of. I can almost smell it now!
Raspberry bread??! Have you ever posted that recipe Miriam. Sounds sweet and pretty. would be fun to try… xox
I have posted it Rhonda, way back on my blog. If you scroll you should find it, a recipe for banana and raspberry cake, not so much bread. I’d send you the link direct but I’m on my phone and not sure how to do it. 😏
I’m off to look Miriam! and I’m with you on the phone– ha ha ha! I can do a little blog business on it– but need my laptop for anything substantial! (unlike my kids who live their lives on their phones!). Thanks for the recipe! Hope all’s well with you there… xox
Hi Rhonda, I hope you found the recipe! Enjoy the rest of your week. xo
thanks Miriam!! xo
Oh my God, Rhonda. This looks delicious. ❤ Thank you! Happy almost Thanksgiving. I hope you have a great day. I ended up finding a lovely group to be with … thanks for being such a great blogger friend xo
Glad for new friends Debbie– hope this is the start of so many good connections ahead in L.A. thankful for you… xo
Apple fritter bread, where have you been all my life?? – Kat
