Ingredients

Brown Sugar/Cinnamon Mixture

⅓ cup light brown sugar

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Quick Bread Loaf

½ cup butter softened

⅔ cup granulated sugar

2 eggs room temp

1 ½ teaspoons vanilla extract

1 ½ cups all-purpose flour

1 ¾ teaspoons baking powder

½ cup milk or almond milk room temp

Chopped Apple Mixture

2 large apples any kind, peeled and chopped small, but not fine. Then toss apples with 2 tablespoons granulated sugar and 1 teaspoon cinnamon just before adding it to the bread mixture.

Old-Fashioned Creme Glaze

½ cup powdered sugar

1-3 tablespoons of milk or cream depending on thickness of glaze wanted. For more apple fritter style like the apple fritter donut- use more milk for a thinner glaze that you can pour over the whole loaf.

Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Use a 9x5-inch loaf pan and spray with non-stick spray or line with foil and spray with non-stick spray to get out easily for slicing.

Brown Sugar/Cinnamon Mixture

Mix ⅓ cup brown sugar and 1 teaspoon cinnamon together in a bowl. Set aside.

Chopped Apple Mixture

In another medium-sized bowl, beat ⅔ cup granulated sugar and ½ cup softened butter together using an electric mixer until smooth and creamy.

Quick Bread Loaf

Combine & whisk 1 & ½ cups flour and 1 & ¾ teaspoons baking powder together in another bowl and set aside.
Beat in 2 eggs, one at a time until blended in; add in 1 & ½ teaspoons vanilla extract and mix in.
Add the flour mixture into creamed butter mixture and mix until blended.
Mix ½ cup milk into batter and continue mixing until smooth.

Assembling the Apple Fritter Layers

Pour half the batter into the prepared loaf pan; add half the chopped apple mixture with 2 tablespoons sugar and 1 teaspoon cinnamon added in and mix together.
Sprinkle ½ of the brown sugar/cinnamon mixture you set aside earlier, on top of apple layer.
Repeat Layer: Pour the remaining batter over apple layer and top with remaining chopped apples cinnamon/sugar mixture, then the remaining brown sugar/cinnamon mixture on top.
Use a knife and swirl through the mixture a few times.
Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted in the center of the loaf comes out clean, approximately 60 minutes.

Old-Fashioned Creme Glaze

To make glaze, mix ½ cup powdered sugar and 1 to 3 tablespoons milk or cream together until well mixed. (Place mixture in microwave for 10 seconds to get it pourable if it needs a boost.)
Let loaf rest in pan for about 15 minutes before removing from pan to let cool off completely on a cooling rack. Drizzle with glaze.
If you want more glaze, make a double batch. 🙂
