Ingredients
Scale
Bread Batter
- 2/3 cup Granulated Sugar
- 1/2 cup Butter
- 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
Apple Topping
- 2 Apples, peeled and chopped
- 1/3 cup Brown Sugar
- 1 teaspoon Ground Cinnamon
Caramel Glaze
- 1.5 oz Butter (about 3 tablespoons)
- 1/4 cup Brown Sugar
- 2 tablespoons Milk
Instructions
- Prepare the batter: Start by whipping together 1/2 cup of butter and 2/3 cup of granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Then add in 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract and 2 eggs, mixing well. Gradually incorporate 1 1/2 cups of all-purpose flour, 1 3/4 teaspoons baking powder, and 1/2 cup milk, stirring until you get a smooth batter.
- Make the cinnamon sugar topping: In a small bowl, combine 1/3 cup brown sugar with 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon to create the flavorful topping for the bread.
- Prepare the apples: Peel and chop 2 apples into small pieces, setting them aside for layering.
- Assemble the bread layers: Grease a loaf pan. Spread about half of the batter evenly in the bottom of the pan. Sprinkle half of the chopped apples over the batter, followed by half of the cinnamon sugar mixture. Repeat with the remaining batter, apples, and cinnamon sugar to build layers.
- Bake the bread: Place the loaf pan in a preheated oven at 350°F (180°C) and bake for 50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean and the top is golden brown.
- Prepare the caramel glaze: While the bread bakes, melt 1.5 oz butter in the microwave until completely melted. Stir in 1/4 cup brown sugar and 2 tablespoons milk until smooth. Chill the glaze in the refrigerator while the bread finishes baking.
- Glaze and serve: Once the bread is baked and slightly cooled, drizzle the caramel glaze evenly over the top. Slice and enjoy this delicious caramel apple fritter bread warm or at room temperature.
Notes
- Use crisp, tart apples like Granny Smith for the best flavor contrast.
- Ensure the butter for the batter is softened to room temperature for easy whipping.
- You can substitute milk with any dairy-free alternative if desired.
- If you prefer a sweeter glaze, add a pinch of salt or a teaspoon of vanilla extract to the caramel glaze.
- Store leftover bread in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or refrigerate for one week.
