A warm, comforting apple fritter bread filled with cinnamon and sweet apple chunks, perfect for fall baking and easy to make without frying.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups (250 grams) all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 cup (200 grams) granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup (50 grams) brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup (120 ml) vegetable oil
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 2 cups peeled and diced apples (about 2 medium apples, firm varieties like Honeycrisp or Granny Smith)
  • Cinnamon sugar mixture: 1/4 cup sugar + 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • Powdered sugar glaze (optional): 1 cup powdered sugar mixed with 1-2 tablespoons milk or apple cider

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×5 inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
  2. Peel, core, and dice two medium apples into 1/2-inch pieces. Toss them with the cinnamon sugar mixture (1/4 cup sugar + 1 teaspoon cinnamon) and set aside.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and ground cinnamon until evenly combined.
  4. In a separate bowl, beat the eggs, granulated sugar, brown sugar, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract until smooth and slightly frothy.
  5. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently fold with a spatula until just combined; do not overmix.
  6. Fold the cinnamon sugar coated apples gently into the batter, distributing evenly without breaking the chunks.
  7. Pour half the batter into the prepared loaf pan. Sprinkle half of the remaining cinnamon sugar mixture over the batter.
  8. Dollop the remaining batter on top and use a knife or skewer to gently swirl the cinnamon sugar through the batter.
  9. Sprinkle the remaining cinnamon sugar evenly on top of the loaf.
  10. Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs. Tent with foil after 40 minutes if the top browns too quickly.
  11. Cool the bread in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a cooling rack and cool completely for at least 30 minutes.
  12. Optional: Whisk powdered sugar with a splash of milk or apple cider and drizzle over the cooled loaf.

Notes

Do not overmix the batter to avoid a tough texture. Coat apples in cinnamon sugar for the classic fritter swirl. Tent with foil if the top browns too quickly. Let the bread cool completely before slicing to prevent crumbling. Optional glaze adds extra sweetness. For gluten-free, substitute flour with gluten-free blend and add extra baking powder. For vegan, replace eggs with flax eggs and use coconut oil.
