Print Recipe

This maple glazed apple fritter bread combines the cozy, spiced interior of a classic apple fritter with the tender, sliceable crumb of a loaf cake, all topped with a maple glaze that soaks into every nook and cranny.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour (240g)
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar (150g)
  • 1/2 cup light brown sugar, packed (100g)
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1/2 cup buttermilk (120ml)
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil (120ml)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 medium apples (about 300g), peeled, cored, and diced into 1/2-inch cubes
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 cup powdered sugar (120g), sifted
  • 3 tablespoons pure maple syrup
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1–2 teaspoons milk, as needed

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 9×5-inch loaf pan with parchment paper, leaving overhang on the long sides. Lightly grease parchment and exposed pan with non-stick spray.
  2. Prepare the apples: In a small bowl, toss diced apples with 1 tablespoon melted butter. In another small bowl, mix 1/4 cup sugar with 1 teaspoon cinnamon. Add to buttered apples and toss to coat. Set aside.
  3. Mix dry ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together flour, 3/4 cup granulated sugar, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, 1 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon, and nutmeg.
  4. Mix wet ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together eggs, buttermilk, vegetable oil, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until smooth and slightly frothy.
  5. Combine wet and dry: Pour wet ingredients into dry ingredients. Stir with a rubber spatula until just combined (a few streaks of flour are okay).
  6. Layer batter and apples: Pour half the batter into prepared pan and spread evenly. Sprinkle half the cinnamon-sugar apples over batter. Pour remaining batter on top and spread gently. Arrange remaining apples on top, pressing slightly into batter.
  7. Bake: Place pan in center of oven and bake for 55-65 minutes. At 30 minutes, check bread; if top is browning too quickly, tent loosely with foil. Bread is done when a toothpick inserted in center comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
  8. Cool: Let bread cool in pan for 15 minutes. Using parchment sling, lift out and transfer to a wire rack. Cool completely before glazing (about 1 hour).
  9. Make glaze: In a small bowl, whisk together sifted powdered sugar, maple syrup, 2 tablespoons melted butter, and 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract until smooth. If too thick, add milk 1 teaspoon at a time until pourable.
  10. Glaze and serve: Once bread is completely cool, drizzle glaze over top. Let set for about 10 minutes before slicing.

Notes

Don’t overmix the batter. Use room temperature ingredients. Choose Granny Smith apples for best results. Let bread cool completely before glazing. Bread tastes even better on day two. Freeze unglazed for up to 3 months.
