Spiced Apple Fritter Bread
Spiced Apple Fritter Bread brings the cinnamon-sugar crunch and tender apple filling of a classic fritter in sliceable loaf form. Made with local butter, milk and cream made right here in Ontario, it bakes into a rich loaf with layers of spiced apples, finished with a glossy glaze. Serve it for fall brunch, afternoon coffee or dessert.
