Deliciously Unique Amish Apple Fritter Bread

This recipe stands out because it combines the nostalgic flavor of fresh apple fritters with the simplicity and convenience of a quick bread. Each slice delivers juicy chunks of apple, layers of cinnamon sugar, and a honeyed glaze that seeps into every crevice—no need for yeast or complicated proofing. It’s rustic, fragrant, and dramatically easier than making individual fritters.

Preparing the Perfect Apple Filling

Choose crisp, tart apples—like Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, or Fuji—peel and dice them just before adding to keep them fresh. Tossing the apples with cinnamon and sugar not only seasons them but keeps the fruit juicy and flavorful throughout the bake. A small splash of lemon juice prevents browning and intensifies the apple flavor.

Assembling Your Amish Apple Fritter Bread

The secret to those beautiful swirls is layering: start with a layer of batter, then top with a mixture of cinnamon-sugar apples—repeat, and gently swirl everything together with a knife before baking. The sweetness and spice get evenly distributed for a loaf that’s just as attractive as it is delicious once sliced.

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan and line with parchment paper for easy removal.
2. For the apple layer, in a bowl, toss diced apples with sugar, cinnamon, and lemon juice. Set aside.
3. In a medium bowl, cream butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. Beat in eggs one at a time, then mix in vanilla extract.
4. In a separate bowl, whisk flour and baking powder. Add to the wet mixture alternately with milk, starting and ending with flour. Mix until just combined—don’t overmix.
5. Spoon half the batter into prepared loaf pan. Top with half the cinnamon sugar swirl, then half the apple mixture. Repeat layers. Use a knife to gently swirl the layers together.
6. Bake for 50–60 minutes, or until a toothpick in the center comes out clean (cover with foil if the top browns too quickly).
7. Let bread cool in the pan for 20 minutes, then lift out and cool fully on a wire rack.
8. For the glaze, whisk powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla until smooth. Drizzle over cooled bread. Let set for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
