This is a recipe for incredibly moist Amish Apple Fritter Bread featuring chunks of fresh apple and a sweet cinnamon glaze. Amelia and Jacob perfected this recipe as a collaborative project for their Taste Portfolio collection.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup finely chopped fresh apples (Granny Smith or Honeycrisp work well)
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • For the Glaze: 1 cup powdered sugar, 2 tablespoons milk, 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract, 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a standard 9×5 inch loaf pan.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt. Set this dry mixture aside.
  3. In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy. You are building the base here.
  4. Beat in the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
  5. In a small bowl, mix the chopped apples with about 2 tablespoons of the flour mixture to prevent them from sinking.
  6. Alternately add the dry ingredients and the milk to the butter mixture, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix only until just combined; do not overmix.
  7. Gently fold in the coated chopped apples using a spatula.
  8. Pour the batter evenly into the prepared loaf pan.
  9. Bake for 50 to 60 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  10. Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes before turning it out onto a wire rack to cool completely.
  11. While the bread cools, prepare the glaze: Whisk together the powdered sugar, milk, vanilla, and cinnamon until smooth.
  12. Drizzle the glaze over the cooled apple bread. Allow the glaze to set before slicing and serving.

Notes

  • Use firm, tart apples like Granny Smith for the best texture.
  • Do not overmix the batter once the flour is added; this keeps your bread moist.
  • This recipe is a perfect example of Amelia’s planning meeting Jacob’s intuition.
