Ingredients

Scale

Apple Mixture

  • 2 medium baking apples (peeled and chopped)
  • 1/2 cup light brown sugar
  • 2 tsp ground cinnamon (heaping spoonfuls)
  • 1 tsp ground ginger

Batter

  • 1 large egg (room temperature)
  • 1/3 cup white granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup vegetable oil
  • 1/4 cup full-fat sour cream (room temperature)
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp kosher salt

Powdered Sugar Glaze

  • 1 cup powdered sugar (sifted)
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 3 tbsp milk

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven and Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a loaf pan using nonstick spray or cake release to ensure the bread doesn’t stick.
  2. Mix Apple Mixture: In a medium bowl, combine the peeled and chopped apples with brown sugar, cinnamon, and ground ginger. Stir well and set aside to let the flavors meld.
  3. Make Wet Batter: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the egg, white granulated sugar, vegetable oil, sour cream, and vanilla extract until fully incorporated and smooth.
  4. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, sift or whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and kosher salt.
  5. Mix Batter and Dry Ingredients: Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients using a rubber spatula or wooden spoon, mixing just until the flour is almost fully incorporated; do not overmix to keep the bread tender.
  6. Add Apples to Batter: Fold in three-quarters of the apple-cinnamon mixture into the batter gently, being careful not to overmix.
  7. Prepare for Baking: Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and evenly distribute. Top the batter with the remaining apple mixture chunks for a crunchy and flavorful topping.
  8. Bake the Bread: Bake in the preheated oven for 50 to 55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean and the internal temperature reaches 200 degrees F.
  9. Cool the Bread: Allow the bread to cool in the pan for at least 30 minutes; ideally wait until it reaches room temperature for easier slicing and better flavor development.
  10. Prepare the Glaze: In a small bowl, whisk together powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and milk until smooth and reaching your desired consistency. Adjust the thickness by adding more powdered sugar if needed.
  11. Glaze and Serve: Pour the glaze generously over the cooled apple fritter bread right before serving for a sweet finishing touch.

Notes

  • Using baking apples like Granny Smith or Honeycrisp works best as they hold their shape well while baking.
  • Room temperature ingredients ensure a smooth, even batter.
  • Don’t overmix the batter to keep the bread light and tender.
  • Check the bread early near the end of baking time to avoid overbrowning.
  • The glaze can be adjusted thinner or thicker depending on your preference by tweaking the milk and powdered sugar ratio.
  • Store leftovers covered at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for longer freshness.
