    So delicious. I made this dairy free – using unsweetened oat milk and earth bound butter substitute.
    AMAZING.

    The apple fritter bread was moist, did have some pieces fall apart. I cut the loaf down the middle so that could have added to the crumb pieces. Good idea to pat down apples and cinnamon. Made it last night and this morning 1/2 was gone.Thank you for a great recipe.

  6. Noticed no salt needed. Ever tried with? I’m so used to adding salt. Looks delish! Gonna make today.

  7. Hi! I would like to make this in mini pans to give as Christmas gifts. What would you suggest for the baking directions?

    1. I made this delicious bread today for the first time, great results. Thank you for sharing this recipe.
