This Amish Apple Fritter Bread is a moist, fragrant loaf packed with tender chunks of baking apples, warm spices like cinnamon and ginger, and a luscious powdered sugar glaze. Perfectly spiced and lightly sweetened, it's an ideal treat for breakfast, brunch, or an afternoon snack that captures the comforting flavors of traditional apple fritters in a convenient loaf form.

Ingredients

Apple Mixture

  • 2 medium baking apples, peeled and chopped
  • 1/2 cup light brown sugar
  • 2 tsp ground cinnamon (heaping spoonfuls)
  • 1 tsp ground ginger

Batter

  • 1 large egg, room temperature
  • 1/3 cup white granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup vegetable oil
  • 1/4 cup full-fat sour cream, room temperature
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp kosher salt

Powdered Sugar Glaze

  • 1 cup powdered sugar, sifted
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 3 tbsp milk

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven and Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F. Prepare a loaf pan by coating it evenly with nonstick spray or cake release to prevent sticking.
  2. Make Apple Mixture: In a medium mixing bowl, combine the chopped apples, light brown sugar, ground cinnamon, and ground ginger. Stir well to coat the apples evenly and set aside for later use.
  3. Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the room temperature egg, white granulated sugar, vegetable oil, full-fat sour cream, and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
  4. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and kosher salt together to ensure even distribution of the leavening and salt.
  5. Incorporate Dry Ingredients into Wet: Add the dry ingredients to the bowl with wet ingredients and gently mix with a rubber spatula or wooden spoon until the flour is almost fully incorporated. Avoid overmixing to keep the bread tender.
  6. Fold in Apples: Fold in about three-fourths of the apple-cinnamon mixture carefully into the batter, preserving some chunks to top the bread later.
  7. Transfer to Pan and Top: Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, spreading evenly. Top the batter with the remaining apple mixture to create a flavorful apple topping.
  8. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 50-55 minutes, or until a thermometer inserted into the center reads 200 degrees F and a toothpick comes out mostly clean with just a few moist crumbs.
  9. Cool: Allow the bread to cool in the pan for at least 30 minutes. For best flavor and texture, let it cool further to room temperature before glazing and serving.
  10. Prepare Glaze: In a small bowl, whisk together the sifted powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and milk until smooth. Adjust thickness by adding more powdered sugar if the glaze is too thin.
  11. Glaze and Serve: Drizzle the powdered sugar glaze generously over the cooled apple fritter bread right before serving to add a touch of sweetness and moisture.

Notes

  • Using baking apples like Granny Smith or Honeycrisp helps maintain shape and tartness after baking.
  • Make sure eggs and sour cream are at room temperature to ensure a smooth batter.
  • Do not overmix the batter to keep the bread tender and avoid toughness.
  • Check doneness with a thermometer or toothpick to avoid under or over-baking.
  • If glaze is too runny, add more powdered sugar in small increments until desired consistency.
  • Store leftovers wrapped tightly in plastic wrap or in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or refrigerate for up to a week.
