Apple Fritter Bread
Q: Can I use pre-sliced apples?
A: Never. Pre-sliced = oxidized mush. Paper-thin = jewel-toned.
Q: Why no cinnamon in batter?
A: Cinnamon fights apples in batter. Layering = perfect spice balance (Nana’s rule: “Respect the fruit”).
Q: Can I make it ahead?
A: Prep apples 1 day ahead (store in lemon bath). Assemble day-of—fresh bake every time.
Q: Why lowest oven rack?
A: Top rack = burnt top; middle rack = uneven rise. Lowest = gentle heat from below.
