This tasty loaf is packed with sweet cinnamon spiced apples layered in the middle and on top, giving you all the warm, comforting vibes of an apple fritter baked into a soft, moist bread. It’s perfect with your morning coffee or as an afternoon treat!

I know, I know; I’ve been making a ton of quick breads lately. They are just so easy to make and they are good for breakfast or snack time or just whenever I need something quick during the day. I’ve been making them with fruit and nuts, just fruit, and just spices.

What is a Quick Bread?

A quick bread is a type of bread that’s made without yeast and instead uses baking powder, baking soda, or both. This means it doesn’t require kneading or time to rise which makes it much faster and easier to prepare.

One of my all time favorite quick breads is Lemon Blueberry Bread because I love the sweet and tart flavors. I also make a ton of different banana breads though my current favorite is Cinnamon Swirl Banana Bread. While I don’t make many savory quick breads, this Tomato Herb Bread is one of my top performing posts.

When I came across a recipe for Apple Fritter Bread I knew I had to make it. I love apple fritters and turning it into a bread sounded really delicious.

What are Apple Fritters?

Apple fritters are a type of sweet, deep fried pastry made by combining chopped or sliced apples with a simple batter and then frying the mixture until golden brown. They’re usually finished with a dusting of powdered sugar or a drizzle of glaze.

This recipe layers the bread, then a sugar and spice mixture, followed by a sprinkle of apples. While I wasn’t sure how it would turn it, I was excited to give it a try.

I had a ton of apples leftover from when my friend went to the orchard and grabbed a peck (or two!) for me. So while we ended up eating a bunch of the apples we still had about 10-15 left and I needed to use them up quickly. Making this bread was a great way to use a few and to make myself a tasty snack.

Ingredients:

Light brown sugar (or dark brown if you prefer)
cinnamon
granulated sugar
salted butter (or unsalted if you prefer)
eggs
vanilla extract
all purpose flour
baking powder
salt
whole milk (or you can use plant based milk)
apples

What type of apples should I use in this bread?

The best apples to use in this bread are Granny Smith because of how tart they are or Honeycrisp or Gala because they have a sweet and tart flavor. You can also use Fuji or Jonagold apples in this recipe. I would avoid using red delicious or McIntosh because they do not hold their shape when they are baked.

To make this bread preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Combine the brown sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl and set aside.

In a large bowl cream together the butter and sugar. Stir in the eggs and vanilla. Add the flour, baking powder, and salt and mix until the dry ingredients become wet. Stir in the milk and mix until well combined.

Pour half of the bread batter into a loaf pan. Top with half the cinnamon sugar mixture and half the chopped apples. Pour the remaining bread batter on top of the apples. Top the bread off with the rest of the cinnamon sugar and apples. Bake for 1 hour.

The bread smelled delicious as it was baking in the oven. I couldn’t wait to try it.

It ended up being sweet and lightly spiced. I thought it would be similiar to other bread recipes I’ve made but it really tasted different.

The bread was soft and the apples were coated with the cinnamon and sugar mixture. This is the perfect fall bread and the texture is different enough from traditional quick bread that you won’t get bored by yet another bread recipe!
