Cinnamon Swirl Apple Fritter Bread: The Cozy Loaf You’ll Fall For

How to Make Cinnamon Swirl Apple Fritter Bread

1. Prep the Pan & Oven
   Preheat to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9×5-inch loaf pan.

2. Mix the Cinnamon Swirl
   In a small bowl, stir together the brown sugar and cinnamon. Set aside—it’s your magic ribbon.

3. Make the Batter

   • Cream the butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.

   • Beat in the eggs one at a time, then mix in the vanilla.

   • In another bowl, whisk flour and baking powder. Add half to the butter mixture, then the milk, then the remaining flour, mixing just until combined.

4. Layer the Loaf

   • Pour half the batter into the loaf pan.

   • Sprinkle half the cinnamon sugar over it, then half the apples. Lightly press apples into the batter.

   • Repeat with the remaining batter, cinnamon sugar, and apples. Swirl a butter knife through the loaf a couple of times for that marbled effect.

5. Bake It
   Bake for 50–60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let it cool in the pan for about 15 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack.

6. Glaze & Serve
   Mix powdered sugar with milk until smooth. Drizzle over cooled bread. Slice, serve, and try not to eat half the loaf in one sitting.

Serving Tips
