How to Make Amish Apple Fritter Bread

PIN IT

1. Preheat & Prep – Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a loaf pan.
2. Mix the Cinnamon Sugar – In a small bowl, stir together brown sugar and cinnamon. Set aside.
3. Cream Butter & Sugar – In a large bowl, beat the butter and white sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs one at a time, then stir in vanilla.
4. Make the Batter – In another bowl, whisk together flour and baking powder. Add to the butter mixture alternately with milk until smooth.
5. Assemble the Layers – Pour half the batter into the loaf pan. Top with half the apples and half the cinnamon sugar. Repeat with remaining batter, apples, and cinnamon sugar. Use a knife to gently swirl through the layers.
6. Bake – Bake for 50–60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
7. Glaze – Whisk together powdered sugar and milk until smooth, then drizzle over warm bread.

Oh, the smell when this is baking—it’s pure heaven!
