    Loved it! Made exactly as written except I only had bread flour. I was tempted to add more milk because it seemed very thick and donut-like but I didn’t. Also found that it seemed light on batter but it all worked out. I used 2 honey crisp apples cut in smaller chunks. Gorgeous and easy!

    Just took it out of the oven. It looks and smells wonderful. This will be a long 30 minutes waiting to slice it.

    Awesome recipe and sooo very delicious. This was easy to make and the results were…Yummy! I made this for my daughter’s birthday. Her birthday was yesterday, the 4th of July. Everyone loved this Amish Apple Fritter Bread, and several of her guests asked if I wouldn’t mind making a couple for them to take to work. Thank you so very much. And I love the picture of you and your handsome sons…Priceless!

      Thanks Mikayla! Yes, this bread will freeze well in an airtight container, or you can wrap in plastic wrap and then foil.

    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!

    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!

    Amazingly moist and not overly sweet to me, used Granny Smiths. I didn’t do the drizzle but oh boy is it good.

    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 🙂

    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.

    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?
