How to Make Amish Apple Fritter Bread

- 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.

Very east an very good with morning coffee..yummy
Thanks Beverly!
Absolutely amazing!!! We all love it ❤️ on our third loaf!!! Shared it with the neighbors!!!
Thank you Christine!
I had a lot of apples, and my kids needed a baked good for leadership camp. However they were adamant that muffins would be better, so I baked this as mini muffins. I followed one of the reviewers advice and soaked the chopped apples (very small chop) in the sugar cinnamon and then just folded them into the batter. I figured as mini muffins there was no point in layering.
I baked them for 18min, checking after 15 (my oven does take the longer bake time). It made 45… but definitely could have made 48 if I was more even in my measuring lol.
So glad that worked out Rachel! Hope they enjoyed them. Thanks!
Can I make this in a 8×8 cake pan
Hi D. Yes you can use an 8×8. Baking time will be less. I would check at 30 minutes.
Oops…I put the brown sugar in the batter…it was in the list of ingredients for the batter….
I did same. Instructions were confusing to me.
Delicious
Thanks Sherri!
I will forever be grateful to you for sharing this recipe! It’s so amazing and my family loves when I make it. I have to make two loaves at a time and even then they only last two days. I’ve made this so many times over the last two years and kept forgetting to review. I mix the brown sugar and cinnamon together and let the apples sit in it while im mixing up the other ingredients. When im all done mixing everything at the end I just dump the apple chunks, in the brown sugar and cinnamon mix, straight into the mix. It takes it to a whole other level! When I look at recipes I enjoy reading others comments/reviews on them to learn other how others are making it or adding their special touch. Make this recipe you won’t regret it!
Thank you Jacqueline!
I love this recipe. I accidently forgot to add the 1/2 cup of milk andit still turned out great! Definitely a keeper.
Thank you Wendy!
Very good – top tastes like apple fritter donuts from Amish market near us. As several people mentioned in comments, mine came out crumbly. I didn’t see any recommendations to correct this. If anyone experienced and corrected, please post your recommendation. Thanks
Can this be made into mini loaves?
Hi Evelyn. This recipe should yield 4 mini loaves. Baking time will be between 25-28 minutes.
Thank you! I’m getting ready to bake and was glad to see your answer so timely. Will leave a review after I try it it. But looking at the photo and reading the recipe, I am sure it will be yum!
