Cinnamon Swirl Apple Fritter Bread Recipe
Ingredients
For the Bread:
- 1/3 cup light brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 2/3 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 3/4 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 cup milk
For the Apple Mixture:
- 2 large apples, peeled and chopped
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
For the Glaze:
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 2-3 tablespoons milk
Instructions
1. Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9×5 inch loaf pan.
2. Prepare the Cinnamon Swirl
In a small bowl, mix the light brown sugar and 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon. Set aside.
3. Mix the Apple Mixture
In another bowl, combine the chopped apples, 2 tablespoons of granulated sugar, and 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon. Set aside.
4. Make the Batter
In a large bowl, cream together the granulated sugar and softened butter until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs, one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour and baking powder. Gradually add the flour mixture to the butter mixture, alternating with the milk, starting and ending with the flour. Mix until just combined.
5. Assemble the Bread
Pour half the batter into the prepared loaf pan. Sprinkle half the cinnamon-sugar mixture over the batter, then top with half the apple mixture, gently pressing the apples into the batter.
Pour the remaining batter on top, spread evenly, and repeat with the remaining cinnamon-sugar and apple mixture. Use a knife to lightly swirl the top.
6. Bake
Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Allow the bread to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
7. Add the Glaze
In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar and milk until smooth. Drizzle over the cooled bread.
8. Serve
Slice and enjoy your Cinnamon Swirl Apple Fritter Bread with a cup of coffee or tea for the ultimate cozy experience.
