This cozy Amish apple fritter bread is a moist, cinnamon-swirled loaf packed with tender apples and finished with a sweet glaze. It’s an easy homemade breakfast treat that tastes just like a classic apple fritter from the fair.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups (250g) all-purpose flour
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 cup (115g) unsalted butter, softened
  • 2/3 cup (135g) granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup (120ml) milk, room temperature
  • 2 medium apples, peeled and chopped (about 1 1/2 cups/180g)
  • 2 tbsp granulated sugar (for apples)
  • 1 tsp cinnamon (for apples)
  • 1 tsp lemon juice
  • 1/3 cup (75g) brown sugar, packed
  • 1 tsp cinnamon (for swirl)
  • 1/2 cup (60g) powdered sugar
  • 1–2 tbsp milk (for glaze)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan with butter or nonstick spray, or line with parchment paper.
  2. In a small bowl, toss the peeled and chopped apples with 2 tbsp granulated sugar, 1 tsp cinnamon, and 1 tsp lemon juice. Set aside.
  3. In another bowl, mix 1/3 cup brown sugar and 1 tsp cinnamon for the swirl.
  4. In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter with 2/3 cup granulated sugar until light and fluffy (about 2-3 minutes).
  5. Beat in the eggs, one at a time, then add vanilla extract.
  6. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
  7. Add half the flour mixture to the butter mixture and mix just until combined. Pour in the milk and mix gently, then add the remaining flour mixture. Stir until just combined.
  8. Spread half the batter into the prepared loaf pan. Top with half the apple mixture (including syrup), and sprinkle with half the cinnamon-sugar swirl. Repeat with remaining batter, apples, and swirl. Gently swirl a knife through the layers.
  9. Bake for 55–65 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Tent with foil if the top browns too quickly.
  10. Let the bread cool in the pan for 10–15 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack.
  11. For the glaze, whisk powdered sugar with 1–2 tbsp milk until smooth and pourable. Drizzle over warm bread and let set before slicing.

Notes

For best results, use room temperature ingredients and fresh, crisp apples. Don’t overmix the batter after adding flour. If your apples are very juicy, toss them with a little extra flour before layering. The bread is even better the next day and freezes well. For gluten-free or dairy-free adaptations, use a 1:1 gluten-free flour blend and vegan butter/milk.
