There’s something about apple desserts that feels inherited. Like you didn’t learn the recipe — you absorbed it.
Country Apple Fritter Bread captures that energy. It’s rustic, slightly messy in the best way, and packed with sweet apples layered between ribbons of brown sugar and cinnamon. The top bakes into golden ridges, and when you drizzle glaze over it? Game over.
It’s breakfast. It’s dessert. It’s “just one more slice” at 10 p.m.
What You’ll Need
For the Apple Layer:
2 medium apples (Granny Smith or Honeycrisp work beautifully)
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
1 teaspoon cinnamon
Peel and dice the apples into small chunks. Toss them with sugar and cinnamon. Let them sit and get juicy while you prep the batter.
For the Cinnamon Swirl:
⅓ cup brown sugar
1 teaspoon cinnamon
Mix together in a small bowl. This is your ripple magic.
For the Bread Batter:
½ cup unsalted butter, softened
⅔ cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs
1½ teaspoons vanilla extract
1½ cups all-purpose flour
1¾ teaspoons baking powder
½ cup milk
Pinch of salt
