Cinnamon Swirl Apple Fritter Bread 🍎🍞✨

Moist, sweet, and spiced—this apple bread combines tender fruit chunks with a cinnamon swirl and a drizzle of glaze.

Ingredients You’ll Need

For the bread

• ⅓ cup light brown sugar (for the swirl)
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• ⅔ cup white sugar
• ½ cup butter, softened
• 2 eggs
• 1½ teaspoons vanilla extract
• 1½ cups all-purpose flour
• 1¾ teaspoons baking powder
• ½ cup milk
• 1½ cups peeled and chopped apples (Fuji or Honeycrisp recommended)

For the glaze (optional)

• ½ cup powdered sugar
• 1–2 tablespoons milk or cream

Instructions

1. Preheat oven: Set oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9×5-inch loaf pan.
2. Prepare swirl: Mix brown sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl. Set aside.
3. Make batter: Cream butter and white sugar until fluffy. Beat in eggs and vanilla. Stir in flour, baking powder, and milk until smooth.
4. Layer: Pour half the batter into the loaf pan. Add half the apples and half the cinnamon-sugar swirl. Repeat with remaining batter, apples, and swirl. Lightly swirl with a knife.
5. Bake: Bake 50–60 minutes until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool in pan 15 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack.
6. Glaze (optional): Whisk powdered sugar with milk/cream until smooth. Drizzle over cooled bread.
7. Serve: Slice and enjoy warm or at room temperature.

Tips

• Extra moist: Use very ripe apples for natural sweetness.
• Storage: Keeps 3–4 days at room temperature or up to a week refrigerated.
• Variation: Add chopped pecans or walnuts for crunch.
