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.

Really easy to prepare and simple pantry ingredients. Smells awesome and tastes good.

I made it today what I enjoyed. I already ate it, so it is wonderful. I love it so much. Champ! Thank you for sharing to us.
Thanks Amy!
I made it today!! turned out really well. thank you for sharing!
Thanks Allie!
Because of a special diet I did sub out Swerve brown, granulated and powdered for the listed sugars and the flour for almond flour. Regardless – it was fantastic following the recipe with these substitutes!
Glad to hear that Jules! Thanks!
This is the best recipe for apple bread I have ever made! I chopped my apple slices up a bit smaller. Delicious, moist and even better a couple of days afterward when you slice and warm it in the microwave or toaster oven This is also great with a dollop of vanilla ice cream. Simple to make and makes such a great gift! Thank you!
Thanks Angie!
Amazingly moist and not overly sweet to me, used Granny Smiths. I didn’t do the drizzle but oh boy is it good.
Thanks Amy!
I made this bread twice and was very good. I chopped the apples small so they would require less time cooking. I found that cooking at least an hour gets the bread super brown and hard, which also dries out the bread. So it would need a little bit more moisture, either by adding more milk or by adding some oil. The leftover bread I did slice off the dark edges, then I fried this like french toast, but just browning in a pan and it makes delicious tasting french toast without all the mess. I added little powdered sugar and it was awesome.
This bread is delicious! The recipe is excellent and baked up easily and perfectly. The next time I make it, I will use less sugar, but that’s the only change I would make 🙂
Thanks SooSoo!
I loved it
So happy to hear that Rania. Thank you!
I love the recipe! I did try it also with King Arthur gluten free 1:1 flour and used applesauce instead of milk in the cake for a gf and dairy free version.
Sounds great Susan. Thanks!
This bread is delicious. Only one issue, it was a little dense. Not fluffy. Did I do something wrong? Also, any suggestions for mini loaves?
This is the second year I’ve made this bread and everyone loves it! It’s become a regular I my Christmas baking! Thank you for this delicious recipe!
So glad they love it Kris! Thank you.
