Time to Cook

Prep: 15 minutes | Cook: 50 minutes | Total: 1 hour 5 minutes | Difficulty: Easy | Make-Ahead: Yes, you can prepare the batter a day in advance.

Steps to Make It

  1. Preheat your oven to 350ยฐF (175ยฐC). Grease a 9×5 inch loaf pan with butter or cooking spray. This will help the bread slide right out after baking.
  2. In a large bowl, mix together the flour, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt. Stir until well combined, and you'll see the dry ingredients come together nicely.
  3. In another bowl, whisk together the melted butter, eggs, and vanilla extract. The mixture should look smooth and slightly glossy, which means it's ready to combine with the dry ingredients.
  4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are totally okay.
  5. Fold in the diced Honeycrisp apples. You should see little bits of apple peeking through the batter, adding a lovely texture and flavor.
  6. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top with a spatula. Bake for 50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  7. Once baked, let the bread cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. This helps it set up nicely and makes it easier to remove.
  8. Carefully transfer the bread to a wire rack to cool completely. The aroma will be irresistible, so be sure to resist the urge to slice it too soon!
  9. While the bread cools, make the glaze by mixing the powdered sugar with milk until smooth. Drizzle it over the cooled bread for that sweet finishing touch.
  10. Slice and serve your Moist Amish Apple Fritter Bread with Fresh Apples. Enjoy it warm or at room temperature, and watch it disappear!

Make It Perfect

  • For extra flavor, try adding chopped nuts or raisins to the batter.
  • If you want a thicker glaze, add more powdered sugar until you reach your desired consistency.
  • This bread is great for breakfast, but it's also a perfect afternoon snack with a cup of tea.

Mix It Up

  • Substitute Honeycrisp apples with any tart apple variety like Granny Smith.
  • Add a sprinkle of nutmeg for a warm, spiced flavor.

Perfect Partners

  • Serve with a dollop of whipped cream for a delightful dessert.
  • Pair with a hot cup of coffee or tea for a cozy afternoon treat.
