Apple Fritter Bread

Featured in Sweet Things.

This Apple Fritter Bread is everything you love about apple fritters, transformed into a sliceable loaf! Each bite features tender chunks of fresh apples and swirls of brown sugar cinnamon, layered throughout a soft, buttery bread. The magic happens when all those flavors bake together - the apples get soft and sweet, while the cinnamon sugar creates little pockets of warmth throughout the loaf. Once it's cooled, we add a sweet vanilla glaze that drips down the sides, making it look as good as it tastes. It's perfect warm from the oven, but honestly gets even better the next day when the flavors really settle in. Whether you're having it for breakfast with coffee, an afternoon snack, or dessert, this bread brings all the cozy flavors of fall right to your kitchen.
