Cinnamon Swirl Apple Fritter Bread

Oh yes! Cinnamon Swirl Apple Fritter Bread is soft, moist, and packed with cinnamon, sugar, and apple goodness—basically dessert in bread form. Here’s a detailed recipe:

Ingredients

For the bread:

• 2 cups (250 g) all-purpose flour

• 1 tsp baking powder

• ½ tsp baking soda

• ½ tsp salt

• 1 tsp ground cinnamon

• ¼ tsp nutmeg (optional)

• ½ cup (100 g) granulated sugar

• ½ cup (120 ml) vegetable oil or melted butter

• 2 large eggs

• ½ cup (120 ml) milk

• 1 tsp vanilla extract

• 1–2 cups peeled and chopped apples (Granny Smith or Honeycrisp work best)

For the cinnamon swirl:

• ¼ cup (50 g) brown sugar

• 1 tsp ground cinnamon

• 1 tbsp melted butter

For the glaze (optional):

• ½ cup (60 g) powdered sugar

• 1–2 tsp milk or apple juice

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven

   • Preheat to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9×5 inch loaf pan.

2. Mix dry ingredients

   • In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg.

3. Mix wet ingredients

   • In another bowl, whisk together sugar, eggs, milk, oil, and vanilla.

4. Combine wet and dry ingredients

   • Stir wet ingredients into dry ingredients until just combined.

   • Fold in chopped apples.

5. Prepare the cinnamon swirl

   • Mix brown sugar, cinnamon, and melted butter in a small bowl.

6. Layer the bread

   • Pour half the batter into the loaf pan.

   • Sprinkle half of the cinnamon sugar mixture over the batter.

   • Pour the remaining batter on top, then sprinkle the rest of the cinnamon sugar.

   • Use a knife to gently swirl the batter for a marbled effect.

7. Bake

   • Bake for 50–60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.

   • If the top browns too fast, cover loosely with foil halfway through baking.

8. Optional glaze

   • Mix powdered sugar with milk or apple juice until smooth.

   • Drizzle over the cooled loaf for extra sweetness.

9. Cool and serve

   • Let the bread cool 10–15 minutes in the pan, then transfer to a wire rack. Slice and enjoy warm or at room temperature.

Pro Tips

• Extra moist: Toss apple pieces in a little flour before folding in to prevent them from sinking.

• Crunchy topping: Add chopped nuts (walnuts or pecans) to the swirl before baking.

• Flavor boost: Sprinkle a pinch of sea salt on the glaze for a sweet-salty combo.
