- Measuring cups
- Measuring spoons
- Whisk
- Rubber spatula
- cooling rack
- Paring knife
- Cutting board
- Oven
- Baking spray
Ingredients
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- ½ cup packed light brown sugar
- ½ cup vegetable oil
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 2 cups peeled, cored, and diced apples Granny Smith or Honeycrisp
- 2 cups powdered sugar
- ¼ cup milk or apple cider
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x5 inch loaf pan.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt.
- In a separate bowl, combine the granulated sugar, brown sugar, and vegetable oil. Mix well until combined.
- Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract. Make sure everything is well incorporated.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the buttermilk. Begin and end with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined. Be careful not to overmix!
- Gently fold in the diced apples until they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
- Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and spread it evenly.
- Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean. If the top starts to brown too quickly, you can tent it with foil.
- Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
- While the bread is cooling, whisk together the powdered sugar, milk (or apple cider), and vanilla extract until smooth. If the glaze is too thick, add a little more milk. If it's too thin, add a little more powdered sugar.
- Once the bread is completely cool, drizzle the glaze over the top. Let the glaze set for a few minutes before slicing and serving.
- Slice and enjoy your delicious Easy Amish Apple Fritter Bread!
Notes
For best results, use room temperature ingredients. To prevent apples from sinking, toss them with a tablespoon of flour before folding them into the batter. Store the bread in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or in the refrigerator for up to a week. For longer storage, freeze for up to 2 months. Consider adding chopped walnuts or pecans for added crunch. Apple cider vinegar (1 tsp) can be added to buttermilk mixture to make it more tangy.
