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.

Instructions

  1. Step
    Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line a 9 × 5-inch (23 × 13 cm) loaf pan with parchment paper. ​
  2. Step
    In a medium bowl, combine the diced apples, sugar, flour, cinnamon and nutmeg. Set aside. ​
  3. Step
    In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder and salt. ​
  4. Step
    In a large bowl, beat the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. ​
  5. Step
    Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract. ​
  6. Step
    Add the dry ingredients and milk alternately to the butter mixture, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined. ​
  7. Step
    Spread half of the batter into the prepared loaf pan. Add half of the apple mixture and gently press it into the batter. ​
  8. Step
    Add the remaining batter and top with the remaining apple mixture. Use a knife to gently swirl the apples through the batter. ​
  9. Step
    Bake for 55–65 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the centre comes out clean. ​

    Whisk together the powdered sugar, cream and vanilla extract until smooth. ​
