· 1 tsp ground cinnamon

For the Cinnamon Swirl:

For the Bread Batter:

· ⅓ cup (75g) unsalted butter, softened
· ½ cup (100g) granulated sugar
· ¼ cup (50g) light brown sugar, packed
· 2 large eggs, room temperature
· 2 tsp vanilla extract
· 1 ¾ cups (220g) all-purpose flour
· 1 ½ tsp baking powder
· ½ tsp salt

For the Streusel Topping:

· ¼ cup (31g) all-purpose flour
· ¼ cup (50g) light brown sugar, packed
· 1 tsp ground cinnamon
· 2 tbsp (28g) cold unsalted butter, cubed

For the Glaze:

· ½ cup (60g) powdered sugar
· 1-2 tbsp milk or cream
· ¼ tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Prepare Apples: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan. In a bowl, mix chopped apples with ⅓ cup brown sugar and 1 tsp cinnamon. Set aside.
  2. Make Swirl & Streusel: In a small bowl, mix ¼ cup brown sugar with 1 tsp cinnamon for the swirl. In another bowl, combine flour, ¼ cup brown sugar, and 1 tsp cinnamon for the streusel. Cut in the cold butter until crumbly.
  3. Make Batter: In a medium bowl, whisk flour, baking powder, and salt. In a large bowl, cream butter and sugars until light and fluffy. Beat in eggs one at a time, then add vanilla. Gradually mix in dry ingredients alternately with milk, beginning and ending with flour mixture.
  4. Layer the Loaf:
    · Spread half the batter into the prepared pan.
    · Top with half the apple mixture and sprinkle with the cinnamon swirl mixture.
    · Carefully spread the remaining batter over the top.
    · Top with remaining apples and sprinkle with streusel.
  5. Bake: Bake for 55-70 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Tent with foil if the top browns too quickly.
  6. Cool & Glaze: Let cool in the pan for 30 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. Whisk glaze ingredients and drizzle over the cooled loaf.

Tips for Perfect Apple Fritter Bread:

· Apple Selection: Use a mix of tart (Granny Smith) and sweet (Honeycrisp) apples for the best flavor.
· Prevent Soggy Bottom: Let the bread cool in the pan for only 20-30 minutes before transferring to a wire rack. This allows steam to escape and prevents sogginess.
· Flavor Boost: Add ½ cup of chopped walnuts or pecans to the batter for extra crunch.
· Storage: Store at room temperature for 2 days or refrigerate for up to 5 days. This bread freezes well for up to 3 months.

Enjoy your baking! This apple fritter bread is perfect for breakfast, a snack, or dessert.
