country apple fritter bread

I made this Country Apple Fritter Bread. It was so tasty I didn't even get around to drizzling on the icing because I kept "tasting" it. I pretty much tasted the entire loaf before it was even lunch time. Yikes!

Here is a link to the blog where I found the recipe:

• 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 3/4 teaspoons baking powder
• 1/2 cup milk
• 2 apples, peeled and chopped (any kind), mixed with 2 tablespoons granulated sugar and 1 teaspoon cinnamon

Old-Fashioned Creme Glaze

• 1/2 cup of powdered sugar
• 1-3 tablespoons of milk or cream- (depending on thickness of glaze wanted)

Instructions

• 1
  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.
• 2
  Mix brown sugar and cinnamon together in a bowl. Set aside.
• 3
  In another medium-sized bowl, beat white sugar and butter together using an electric mixer until smooth and creamy.
• 4
  Beat in eggs, 1 at a time, until blended in; add in vanilla extract.
• 5
  Combine & whisk flour and baking powder together in another bowl and add into creamed butter mixture and stir until blended.
• 6
  Mix milk into batter until smooth.
• 7
  Pour half the batter into the prepared loaf pan; add half the apples and half the brown sugar/cinnamon mixture.
• 8
  Lightly pat apple mixture into batter.
• 9
  Pour the remaining batter over apple layer and top with remaining apples and brown sugar/cinnamon mixture.
• 10
  Lightly pat apples into batter; swirl brown sugar mixture through apples using knife or spoon.
• 11
  Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted in the center of the loaf comes out clean, approximately 50-60 minutes.
• 12
  To make glaze, mix powdered sugar and milk or cream together until well mixed.
• 13
  Let cool for about 15 minutes before drizzling with glaze.

Optional

• Next time I think I would add in walnuts. You can always use other fruit, or you could add in chocolate chips too! (Of course!)
• Substitutions: I've also substituted this with 1/2 cup Greek Yogurt, 1/3 cup milk and add 1/4 teaspoon baking soda instead of 1/2 cup milk as called out in the bread loaf ingredients.
• Baking options: Bake 30-40 min. for 2 loaf recipe, 15-20 minutes for muffins or 50 -60 minutes for one full loaf recipe or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean.
