HOW TO MAKE APPLE FRITTER BREAD
Step 1: Prepare Your Pan
- Preheat oven to 350°F
- Spray a 9×5 loaf pan with nonstick spray
- Line with parchment paper for easy removal
Step 2: Mix The Fillings
- Combine diced apples, sugar, and cinnamon in a bowl
- Stir well and set aside to let flavors meld
Step 3: Make the Batter
- In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
- Using an electric mixer, cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Don’t rush this step – it’s crucial for a tender bread!
- Beat in eggs one at a time, then mix in vanilla extract.
- Alternate adding flour mixture and sour cream to the butter mixture, starting and ending with flour (mix in 3 batches of flour and 2 batches of sour cream).
Step 4: Layer and Bake
- Pour half the batter into your prepared pan, spreading evenly.
- Layer half the apple mixture on top.
- Add remaining batter, then top with remaining apples.
- Bake for 50-60 minutes, until a toothpick comes out clean. Tent with foil during the last 15 minutes if top browns too quickly.
Step 5: Finish and Glaze
- Cool in pan for 15 minutes, then remove to a wire rack.
- While bread cools, whisk together glaze ingredients until smooth.
- Once bread is completely cool, drizzle with glaze.
PRO TIPS FOR SUCCESS
- Use firm baking apples – they’ll hold their shape better
- Room temperature ingredients are crucial for the best texture
- Don’t overmix the batter once you add the flour
- The bread is even better the next day as flavors develop
STORAGE TIPS
- Keep at room temperature up to 4 days
- Freezes beautifully for up to 3 months
- If freezing, add glaze after thawing
