What’s Cooking in Gail’s Kitchen? Country Casual Cravings: Fritter Fratter Apple Loaf! This recipe is pure country. If you don’t believe me, ask the Amish. They cook for taste, dietary staples, and comfort. It definitely checks all the boxes when it comes to a flavor-filled bakery bread loaded with fresh fruit, brown sugar, and cinnamon spice. No frying allowed, simply because this delectable treat falls in the category of “quick breads”. No need to feel intimidated. You have everything you need. As with any recipe, the results depend on the one baking it. You can do this.
FRITTER FRATTER APPLE LOAF
Ingredients:
1/3 cup brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
2/3 cups sugar
2 eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon sea salt
1/2 cup milk
1 1/2 cups diced apples, peeled and cored
For Glaze Topping:
1/2 cup powdered sugar
1/2 tablespoon butter, softened
2 tablespoons milk
1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions:
Preheat oven to 350°. Spray a loaf pan with nonstick oil. Set aside. In a small bowl, combine the brown sugar and cinnamon. Mix well; set aside. In a large mixing bowl, beat together the softened butter and sugar until smooth. Beat in the eggs and vanilla until blended. In another bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and sea salt. Gradually add to the large bowl. Stir until blended. Pour milk into the batter; blend until smooth. Pour half the batter into the prepared loaf pan. Layer with half the diced apples. Pour reserve batter over the apple layer. Top with remaining apples. Gently press into the batter. Cover the top with cinnamon sugar. Bake for 60 minutes, or until a cake tester comes out clean. For the glaze topping, blend the powdered sugar and softened butter until smooth. Add milk and vanilla extract to form a smooth consistency. Allow the apple loaf to cool for 20 minutes. Drizzle the glazed topping over all. Slice loaf and serve.
Thank you, Gail, this is just perfect for me!!!

Apple fritters are my absolute favorite! I much prefer them over a typical donut. I never thought to make them into a quick loaf of bread. Thank you for this recipe!

I make one similar for our guest house. It’s amazing with sautéed apples in a hot buttered rum sauce with homemade whip cream
