Ingredients
  

For the Bread
  • 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 large eggs (room temperature)
  • 0.5 cups unsalted butter (softened)
  • 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 2/3 cups granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
  • 0.25 teaspoon salt
  • 0.5 cups buttermilk (room temperature) Can substitute with regular milk plus a teaspoon of vinegar.
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/3 cups light brown sugar
  • 1 heaping teaspoon ground cinnamon
Apple-Cinnamon Mixture
  • 2 pieces apples (peeled, cored, and diced into 1/4-inch pieces)
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 2 tablespoons light brown sugar
For the Glaze
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 0.25 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 2-3 tablespoons heavy cream or milk

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 350ºF and line a 9x5-inch loaf pan with parchment paper. Grease the parchment with cooking spray.
  2. In a small bowl, mix 1/3 cup light brown sugar and a heaping teaspoon of cinnamon. Set this cinnamon-sugar mixture aside.
  3. In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, salt, baking powder, 1 teaspoon of cinnamon, and baking soda. Keep it aside.
  4. In another small bowl, combine the diced apples, 2 tablespoons of sugar, and 1 teaspoon of cinnamon.
Baking
  1. In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter and granulated sugar together until light and fluffy.
  2. Add eggs one at a time, along with the vanilla, incorporating fully after each addition.
  3. Gradually mix in the flour mixture in thirds, alternating with the buttermilk, until just combined and smooth.
  4. Pour half of the batter into the prepared loaf pan. Layer in half of the apple mixture and sprinkle with half of the cinnamon sugar. Repeat with the remaining batter, apples, and cinnamon mixture.
  5. Bake for 50-65 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean or with a few crumbs. Allow it to cool in the pan for 15 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
  6. For the glaze, whisk together the powdered sugar, milk or heavy cream, and a dash of cinnamon. Drizzle over the cooled loaf and slice to serve.

Notes

To keep your Amish Apple Fritter Bread fresh, store it in an airtight container at room temperature for up to three days. If you have leftovers beyond that, consider wrapping it well and freezing it for up to three months. Make sure to allow it to cool completely before freezing so that it retains its moisture. Room temperature ingredients, such as eggs and buttermilk, are recommended for a better emulsion and texture.
