Country Apple Fritter Bread

Ingredients:

• 1/3 cup Light brown sugar
• 1 tsp Ground cinnamon
• 2/3 cup White sugar
• 1/2 cup Butter, softened
• 2 Eggs
• 1 1/2 tsp Vanilla extract
• 1 1/2 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 3/4 tsp Baking powder
• 1/2 cup Milk
• 2 Apples, peeled and chopped (any kind)

Old-Fashioned Creme Glaze:

• 1/2 cup Powdered sugar
• 2 tbsp Milk or cream

Instructions:

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Prepare a 9×5-inch loaf pan by spraying with non-stick spray or lining with foil and spraying with non-stick spray.
2. In a small bowl, mix together the brown sugar and cinnamon. Set aside.
3. In a medium-sized bowl, beat the white sugar and softened butter together using an electric mixer until smooth and creamy.
4. Beat in the eggs, one at a time, until well blended. Then, add the vanilla extract and mix until incorporated.
5. In another bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour and baking powder. Gradually add this mixture to the creamed butter mixture, stirring until well combined.
6. Mix in the milk until the batter is smooth.
7. Pour half of the batter into the prepared loaf pan. Layer half of the chopped apples and half of the brown sugar/cinnamon mixture on top of the batter. Lightly pat down the apple mixture.
8. Pour the remaining batter over the apple layer and top with the remaining chopped apples and brown sugar/cinnamon mixture. Again, lightly pat down the apple mixture.
9. Use a knife or spoon to swirl the brown sugar mixture through the apples in the batter.
10. Bake in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the loaf comes out clean.
11. Allow the bread to cool for about 15 minutes before drizzling with the creme glaze.

Tips:

• Use any variety of apple you prefer for this recipe, such as Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, or Gala.
• Be sure to properly prepare your loaf pan to prevent sticking and ensure easy removal of the bread.
• Allow the bread to cool slightly before slicing to prevent it from crumbling.
• Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to several days, or in the refrigerator for longer storage. Warm slices in the microwave or oven before serving if desired.
