Apple Bread
If your family loves all things apples, then print this recipe and get ready for smiles. A ribbon of cinnamon apples goes into the bread, and the loaf is finished off with more cinnamon apple goodness on top. An optional drizzle of glaze at the end turns this simple quick bread into a decadent dessert. This is definitely more of a dessert bread, almost like a pound cake, then a light and fluffy sandwich type bread.
How To Make Apple Fritter Bread
Making this recipe is simple and straight forward. The most timely part of the process is prepping your apples, as it is with most apple recipes.
Ingredients
With common ingredients, you might already have everything you need to whip up this recipe. When it comes to apples for baking, my top choices are:
- Granny Smith
- Jonagold
- Golden Delicious
- Honeycrisp
- Jonathan
- Braeburn
- Pink Lady
I specifically avoid using Red Delicious when baking, as I personally am not fond of the texture once baked. But that’s a matter of personal opinion. Here’s a quick glance at what else you’ll need (full recipe found at the bottom of this post).
Instructions
Here’s a quick glance of how you make this bread. First, a bread base is mixed together, and diced apples are mixed with cinnamon and brown sugar.
Next, the bread mixture is layered with batter, apples, batter and topped with apples and more cinnamon and brown sugar.
You can see how simple it is. I recommend not making the bottom layer of batter too thin, as the apples will sink some due to gravity. Go for a thick layer of batter on the bottom.
After baking, the bread can be drizzled with a glaze if desired. That’s all there is to it!

Meet Christi, Love From The Oven
I’m Christi I love sharing easy & delicious recipes that your family & friends will love. I’m a mom, baker, cookbook author and lover of sprinkles.
Made this today with Pink Lady apples and my husband says it is the BEST he has ever tasted!
I bakes it in an 8×8 glass pan and worked great.
Very nice apple Fritter Bread – the only complaint that I have – saying that PREP time is 15 minutes —- how fast can anyone peel and dice apples in less than 10 minutes leaving time to prepare the batter, etc…………….
This turned out very good for me, even though I forgot to swirl in the apples on each lever:) BUT, I do have a question. The recipe doesn’t mention what to do with the 1/2 cup of milk in the Bread portion. I got everything in up to that point, and then just added the milk at the end until it was a consistency to my liking. Was I supposed to do something else with it?
Whoops, that was just a typo, I had mix where it should have been add milk. Fixed! The challenges of working while helping the kids with school 😉
Hi I love your recipes but can u please tell any replacement for eggs in apple bread
Rakhi, I don’t use and am not familiar with egg replacements, eggs are not something my family avoids. I’d suggest using whatever egg replacement you have found works well in baking other recipes.
This is the second time I’m making it. My husband loved it. I’m trying it in a bundt pan this time because my loaf pan it too small. Thanks for great recipe.
Maggie, so glad that you and your husband enjoy the recipe!
This turned out soooo good.
