Ingredients

Apple Mixture

  • 2 apples Honeycrisp preferred, but any baking apple works
  • 2 tbsp brown sugar
  • 1 tsp cinnamon

Bread Batter

  • ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
  • ¾ cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tbsp + 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • cup whole milk
  • cup sour cream
  • 11/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • ¼ tsp salt

Cinnamon Sugar Swirl

  • ½ cup brown sugar
  • 1 tsp cinnamon

Maple Glaze

  • 1 tbsp room temperature unsalted butter
  • cup maple syrup
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • Milk

Instructions

  • Prep the Apples: Start by peeling and dicing your apples into ¼-inch cubes. Toss the apple cubes with 2 tablespoons of brown sugar and 1 teaspoon of cinnamon, then set them aside. Prepare the Apple Fritter Bread Batter: In a large mixing bowl, combine the melted butter and granulated sugar. Stir until well mixed. Add in the eggs one at a time, whisking until fully incorporated. Stir in the vanilla extract. In a separate small bowl, whisk together the milk and sour cream until smooth. In another bowl, combine the flour, cinnamon, baking powder, and salt. Gently fold this dry mixture into the wet ingredients until just combined. Now, stir in the milk and sour cream mixture until smooth. Be careful not to overmix. Make the Cinnamon Sugar Swirl: In a small bowl, combine ½ cup of brown sugar with 1 teaspoon of cinnamon. Set aside. Assemble the Apple Fritter Bread: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a standard loaf pan or muffin pan with parchment paper or lightly grease it. Scoop half of the apple fritter bread batter into the prepared pan and spread it evenly. Top with half of the apple mixture, then sprinkle half of the cinnamon sugar swirl over the apples. Repeat the layers with the remaining batter, apples, and cinnamon sugar. Bake the Apple Fritter Bread: Bake in the preheated oven for 60 to 70 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Start checking at the 60-minute mark to avoid overbaking. If you are making muffins, bake for 25-30 minutes. Once done, remove from the oven and let the bread cool in the pan for 60 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. Make the Maple Glaze: In a small bowl, whisk together the room temperature butter, maple syrup, cinnamon, and powdered sugar until smooth. Add a splash of milk if you’d like a thinner glaze consistency. Finish and Serve your Apple Fritter Bread: Once the apple fritter bread is fully cooled, drizzle the maple glaze on top. Slice the loaf into 12 equal pieces and enjoy!
