Bake this Easy Amish Apple Fritter Bread — soft, cinnamon-spiced, and full of juicy apples. Perfect for fall mornings or dessert nights.
Ingredients
For the Bread
- 3 cups medium baking apples, chopped (Honeycrisp or Empire recommended)
- 1 cup light brown sugar
- 2 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1 tsp ground ginger (optional)
- 1 large egg
- 1 cup white granulated sugar
- ½ cup vegetable oil (or applesauce substitute)
- 1 cup full-fat sour cream (or Greek yogurt)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract (almond extract for variation)
- 2 cups all-purpose flour (use 1:1 gluten-free blend if needed)
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1 tsp kosher salt
For the Glaze
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 2 tbsp milk (dairy or almond milk)
- ½ tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly coat a loaf pan with nonstick spray or line it with parchment for easy release.
- Prepare the apples: In a small bowl, combine chopped apples, brown sugar, cinnamon, and ginger. Toss gently and set aside.
- Mix the wet ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together egg, granulated sugar, oil, sour cream, and vanilla until smooth and creamy.
- Add the dry ingredients: In another bowl, mix flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually fold this into the wet mixture until just combined — don’t overmix!
- Add apples: Fold in most of the apple mixture. Pour the batter into your prepared loaf pan and smooth the top.
- Top it off: Spoon the remaining apple mixture over the batter and gently press it down.
- Bake: Bake for 50–55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Cool: Let it cool in the pan for 30 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack.
- Glaze: Whisk together powdered sugar, vanilla, and milk until smooth. Drizzle over the cooled bread and let it set.
