Apple Fritter Bread

Today I am beyond thrilled to be back with my Tastes of the Season blogger friends. Each of us is sharing one of our favorite fall apple-inspired recipes. As you’ve probably figured out, my contribution to this recipe fest is Apple Fritter Bread. At the end of this post, you’ll find four more incredibly tasty fall apple desserts that you’re also going to want to make.

Here on Inspired by Charm, we love quick bread. As I was looking through my recipe archives, I realized I didn’t have an apple-inspired quick bread, so I swiftly solved that by baking up this delicious Apple Fritter Bread. And it’s just in time for the fall season.

As much as I LOVE an apple fritter, they can be a bit daunting and time-consuming to make. (Still totally worth it though.) This Apple Fritter Bread is the perfect substitute for when that apple fritter craving strikes and you don’t have the time or energy for a more complicated recipe.

This bread is loaded with two cups of apples, ground cinnamon, rich brown sugar, and topped with sour cream-based icing. The creamy tanginess pairs beautifully with this loaf.

What I love about this quick bread (or any quick bread for that matter) is that you can serve it any time of the day. It’s a great sweet for breakfast, a wonderful addition to brunch, a satisfying afternoon treat, and even a simple after-dinner dessert.

If you have a must-bake list for fall, you’re definitely going to want to add this one to your list.

As I mentioned above, this Apple Fritter Bread recipe is really straightforward to make, but I will still walk you through it step-by-step.

How to Make Apple Fritter Bread:

Begin by preheating your oven to 350 degrees F.

Line an 8 x 4 loaf pan with parchment paper and spray with baking spray. Set aside.

In a medium bowl, toss together the chopped apples, brown sugar, and cinnamon. Set aside. I’ve included a printable recipe card below for a full rundown of the recipe ingredients and instructions.

In another medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.

In a large bowl, beat together the granulated sugar and butter until combined. Then beat in the eggs one at a time. Next, beat in the milk and vanilla extract.

Add the flour mixture and stir with a spatula until just combined.

Add half of the batter to your prepared loaf pan, then top with half of the apple mixture.

Spread the remaining batter over the top, then top with the remaining apple mixture.

Gently pat the apples into the batter. Then use a butter knife to swirl the apples into the batter. (Two to three swirls are all you need.)

Bake for 55-60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. (Cover the loaf with foil for the last 15-20 minutes of baking to prevent over-browning.)

Cool in the pan on a wire rack for about 10 minutes. Then use the parchment paper to lift the loaf from the pan. Cool completely on a wire rack.

In the meantime, prepare the icing by whisking together the sour cream, vanilla extract, and powdered sugar. Add in the milk, 1 teaspoon at a time, to achieve a drizzling consistency.

Drizzle your loaf with the icing before slicing and serving.

That’s it, my friends. This quick bread has the fall flavors perfected!

Looking for more apple-based recipes? Try these:

• German Apple Cake
• Aunt Maybe’s Apple Strudel
• Cream Cheese Apple Turnovers
• Apple Streusel Cake
• Cream Cheese and Apple Turnovers
• Apple Cranberry Slab Pie

My guess is that you have most, if not all, of these ingredients already in your refrigerator or pantry which means you can whip up this Apple Fritter Bread at a moment’s notice.

I hope you enjoy it as much as I do. Happy Baking!!
