Bready or Not: Apple Fritter Bread
I love breakfast foods. I don't want to wake up at 4 o'clock in the morning to make them.
My husband was going to have a study group at our house at 9 o'clock in the morning. I wanted to serve a snack that was tasty but didn't involve a lot of preparation in the morning. After all, I had to get the kid ready for school, to school, and then clean house because of folks coming.
I found this recipe for apple fritter bread. I made it the night before. In the morning, I cut the loaf in half and heated it up in the oven for about 15 minutes, let it cool some, then topped it with a halved glaze recipe. Ta-da!
My husband did point that it doesn't taste exactly like an apple fritter. There's none of that dropped-in-hot-oil taste or texture, but it is glazed and thoroughly delicious.
I bet this would be great with pears, too.
Apple Fritter Bread
from Rumbly Tumbly
makes 1 9×5-inch loaf
Ingredients:
1/3 cup brown sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
2/3 cup white sugar
1/2 cup butter, softened
2 eggs
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 3/4 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 cup milk (I used almond milk)
1 apple, peeled and chopped (any kind is fine), mixed with 1 T granulated sugar and 1/2 tsp cinnamon
Glaze:
1 cup of powdered sugar
1-3 tablespoons of milk or cream, mixed together to a drizzling consistency
Instructions:
1) Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan. Cut a piece of parchment to act like a sling up the long sides, press that in, then use more nonstick spray or butter.
2) Mix brown sugar and cinnamon together in a bowl.
3) Beat white sugar and butter together in a bowl using an electric mixer until smooth and creamy. Beat in eggs, 1 at a time; add vanilla extract.
4) Combine flour and baking powder together in a bowl; stir into creamed butter mixture. Mix milk into batter until smooth.
Pour half the batter into the prepared loaf pan; add half the apples and half the brown sugar mixture. Lightly pat apple mixture into batter. Pour the remaining batter over apple layer; top with remaining apples and brown sugar mixture. Lightly pat apples into batter; swirl brown sugar mixture through apples using a finger or spoon.
5) Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted in the center of the loaf comes out clean, 30 to 40 minutes.
6) This can be made the night before and then warmed to be served. In any case, the glaze is best freshly made. After the loaf has cooled about 15 minutes, drizzle with glaze.
It can also be frozen, unglazed.
OM NOM NOM.
