This easy apple fritter bread is layers of spiced apples in a moist sweet bread drizzled with a cinnamon glaze. Each bite resembles the flavors of an apple fritter donut without all the work.
1largetart apple, peeled and dicedI used granny smith
¼cup(55g)brown sugar
1teaspooncinnamon

1½cups(210g)all-purpose flour
½cup(115g)sour creamroom temperature
¾cup(90g)powdered sugarfor the glaze
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350°F. Coat a 9×5 inch loaf pan with cooking spray. Line the bottom and up the short sides with parchment paper. Spray again. Set aside.
Peel and dice apple very small, mix in a small bowl with brown sugar and cinnamon. Set aside.
In the bowl of your stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment combine the butter and granulated sugar on medium speed for 2 minutes. Add in the eggs one at a time and vanilla and mix until blended, scraping the sides of the bowl as necessary.
Mix in the baking powder, salt and half the flour. Mix in the sour cream, followed by the remaining flour.
Pour half of the batter into the prepared pan. Spoon half of the apples on top of the batter, trying not to get the juices. Pour remaining batter on top followed by remaining apples without the juices. You will use the leftover sugary juice for the glaze.
Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Allow to cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes, then gently run a knife around the edges of the pan to loosen the loaf. Remove the bread from the pan onto a wire rack to cool completely before glazing.
While the bread is cooling you can make the glaze by combining the leftover apple cinnamon juice and ¾ cup of powdered sugar. If needed add a bit of water or extra powdered sugar to get your desired consistency. Drizzle over bread when cooled.

Notes
Bread will have the best results if made with room temperature ingredients. I like to pull my eggs, milk, and butter out of the fridge an hour or two before I start baking.You may need to add more or less powdered sugar and water to get the desired consistency for the glaze.I have given both cups and grams as measurements. Grams will be more precise, especially when measuring flour. If you don’t have a kitchen scale, no problem! Just lightly spoon flour into your measuring cup to insure its not packed in there. Light and fluffy is the key.
