How to Make Amish Apple Fritter Bread
Preheat oven to 350ºF. Prepare an 8.5×4.5×2.5-inch loaf pan by greasing it with non-stick cooking spray.
In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the brown sugar and 1 teaspoon cinnamon; set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, use an electric mixer to cream together the 2/3 cup granulated sugar and butter until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs and vanilla, just until combined.
In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the flour and baking powder. Add the flour mixture to the wet mixture and stir until combined. Add the milk and mix until smooth.
Pour half of the batter into the prepared loaf pan and spread out evenly.
In a small mixing bowl, combine the apple filling ingredients.
Pour half of the apples over the batter in the pan.
Spread on the remaining batter.
Top with the remaining apples and press the apples down slightly.
Sprinkle the brown sugar and cinnamon mixture over top of the bread.
Bake at 350ºF for 1 hour, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Cool in the pan for about 30 minutes. In a small bowl, combine the glaze ingredients until smooth. Drizzle over the cooled bread.

Keep the bread wrapped in plastic or in an airtight container. It will keep in the refrigerator or on the counter for up to four days.

Getting ready to make
This recipe is delicious. I increased the cinnamon in the apple filling to to 2 tsp (we love cinnamon). I combined Granny Smith & Honeycrisp apples. Will definitely make again.
Thank you for this wonderful recipe.
Thank you Renee!
So no salt in the recipe? Or did I miss it?
Hi Liberty. There is no salt in the recipe. If you use salted butter it will add enough. If you use unsalted you can add 1/4 teaspoon if you’d like.
I can’t wait to try this! Looks delicious. What apples do you use?
Thanks
Hi Mirta. Honeycrisp and Granny Smith are our favorites for baking.
Yummm!
Thanks Angela!
Easy and delicious
Thank you Judy!
Everyone loved this. It was gone almost as soon as it cooled enough for us to eat it. Fantastic!
Thanks Erin!
Fabulous recipe; I will be making this at least once a week! So delicious!
Thank you Nancy!
I’ve made the loaf and it’s great! Can I make them into cupcakes with the same layering system? How long do I bake them for?
Hi Evie. We have not made these in muffin tins but several readers have done so with success. Baking time should be similar.
Very easy recipe. Tastes amazing. Will definitely make again and again!!
Thanks June!
Can I use almond milk instead of dairy milk in this recipe? Haven’t made it yet. Awaiting your response.
Hi Allice. Yes, almond milk will work fine as a substitute.
Turned out great.
Thanks Linda Janelle!

Thank you Sandra!
Can you bake in muffin tin?
Hi Dee. Yes we have had several readers who have made into muffins with good results.
If I make in mini loaf pans, is the cook time the same?
Hi Michelle. Your bake time may be slightly less so I would keep an eye on them.
I have made this bread several times. It is really good. I will usually warm it up to go with my breakfast. Yummy!!
Thank you Serantha!
I tried a couple of different Amish Apple Fritter Bread recipes and this one is definitely my favorite. Moist and delicious.
I did freeze part of it and it seemed a little dry after thawing but perhaps I didn’t store it in the fridge as best I could.
Making more today as Christmas gifts for neighbors.
Thank you Leslie!

Thanks Leesa!
Excellent.
