    I normally do not leave recipe reviews, but I had to for this one. My fritter loaves turned out perfect, moist, and delicious! I did add lemon and ginger to my apples with extra cinnamon just for a personal touch. I will be making this often! Thank you for sharing!

    1. Jill says:

      Yay! Thank you Kelly!

    I swapped sugars with keto sugars and it was still yummy!

    Decent. Didn’t love it or think it was rave worthy. A solid B+.

  6. Debby says:

    I made this recipe and all my apples went to the bottom of the pan—the bread had a good taste but was a little heavy on the bottom..

    1. Jill says:

      Sorry to hear that Debby. My only thoughts are that the batter could have been overmixed allowing the apples to sink or the apples may have been cut too large.

  8. Claudia DeJulio says:

    This bread is outstanding! One question, does it freeze well?

    1. Jill says:

      Thanks Claudia! Yes, it freezes well. You can wrap in plastic wrap and then foil or store on an airtight container for up to three months.

    Excellent! Didn’t change a thing and used Granny Smith apples. Trust me, I’m not a kitchen genius, nor do I like to cook/bake, but I will make this again. Turned out perfect.

    1. Jill says:

      Yay! Thanks Jean!
