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.

Absolutely delicious but completely fell apart. (I think if you want it as bread, you would probably need to refrigerate it until could before removing it from the pan and also it really needs parchment paper instead of just a greased pan) We are having it as a crumble with ice cream instead.
I haven’t had any issue with this falling apart, but parchment paper does work great for easy removal.
Can I make this as mini loaves?
Hi Caitlyn. Yes, this recipe should yield 3-4 mini loaves. Baking time will be between 25-28 minutes.
Let it cool and tried turning it out of pan to slice and it totally fell apart.
Tried this recipe and it has been voted a family favorite!
Yay! Thanks Rose!
Can this be frozen?
Hi Gayle. Yes, this bread freezes well. You can wrap in plastic wrap and then foil or store on an airtight container.
Will the apple peels be tender enough if I don’t peel?
Hi MrBF. They will still be tender, you’ll just have the peel that will be a little tougher.
