Apple Fritter Bread 

    This Apple Fritter Bread recipe is one cut out from a newspaper, but I do not know which paper. It was part of some packing paper an aunt of mine used when sending me a box of things. My aunt lives in sort of Southwest Central Iowa; Southwest of Des Moines, so it would be a paper local to her.  I also don't have an exact date, but the most recent year noted in an article related to hog farming, is 2017. I believe this is from late 2017 or early 2018. Anyhow, I'd made this bread at least one time before and I don't know what I did different this time, but it turned out really good this time around. I made this on March 19, 2022 and shared some with friends and co-workers. I would not change a thing about this recipe. Try it and enjoy it. It's fabulous with coffee and tea, or milk. I really love this recipe and I hope you do as well. 

Ingredients:

1/3 cup brown sugar

1 tsp ground cinnamon

2/3 cup white sugar

1/2 cup butter, softened

2 eggs

1 1/2 tsp vanilla extract

1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

3/4 tsp baking powder

1/2 cup milk

1 apple, peeled and chopped (any kind of apple is fine), mixed with 1 tbsp sugar and 1/2 tsp cinnamon

Glaze: 1 cup powdered sugar, plus 1 - 3 tbsp of milk or cream (I used 3 tbsp)

Directions:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees; grease and flour a 9x5 inch loaf pan. I used cooking spray and flour. You could also grease and then line with parchment paper, but I didn't see a need for that. 

Mix brown sugar and cinnamon in a bowl and set aside. Beat white sugar and butter together using an electric mixer (if you have one) until smooth and creamy. Beat in eggs, one at a time and add vanilla. Combine flour and baking powder in a bowl and stir it into your creamed butter mixture. Stir your milk into batter until smooth. Pour half the batter into your loaf pan; add half of the apples and half of the brown sugar mixture. Pat your apples lightly into the batter. Pour the remaining batter over the apple layer and repeat the process with apples and cinnamon mixture. You can swirl the brown sugar mixture through the apples using a knife or fork. 

Bake until a toothpick (I used a long wooden kabob skewer) inserted in the center of the loaf comes out clean; this should be 50 to 60 minutes. For my oven, I left it in the full 60 minutes. While the loaf cools, make your glaze and after 15 minutes, drizzle glaze over the loaf.
