Ingredients

Units Scale

Apple Mixture

  • 2 medium baking apples (peeled and chopped)
  • 1/2 cup light brown sugar
  • 2 tsp ground cinnamon (heaping spoonfuls)
  • 1 tsp ground ginger

Batter

  • 1 large egg (room temperature)
  • 1/3 cup white granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup vegetable oil
  • 1/4 cup full-fat sour cream (room temperature)
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp kosher salt

Glaze

  • 1 cup powdered sugar (sifted)
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 3 tbsp milk

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven and Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F. Prepare a loaf pan by spraying it with nonstick spray or coating with cake release to prevent sticking.
  2. Mix Apple Mixture: In a medium mixing bowl, combine the peeled and chopped apples with light brown sugar, cinnamon, and ground ginger. Stir well to evenly coat the apples and set aside.
  3. Combine Wet Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the egg, white granulated sugar, vegetable oil, full-fat sour cream, and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and thoroughly combined.
  4. Mix Dry Ingredients and Incorporate: In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and kosher salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, folding gently with a rubber spatula or wooden spoon until the batter is almost fully combined.
  5. Fold in Most of Apple Mixture: Fold about 3/4 of the apple and spice mixture into the batter, ensuring even distribution without overmixing.
  6. Pour Batter into Pan and Top: Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top gently. Scatter the remaining apple chunks on top for extra texture and flavor.
  7. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 50-55 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the bread reaches 200 degrees F and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  8. Cool the Bread: Allow the bread to cool in the pan for at least 30 minutes. For best flavor and texture, wait about an hour or until it reaches room temperature before glazing and serving.
  9. Prepare Powdered Sugar Glaze: In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the sifted powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and milk until smooth. Adjust consistency by adding more powdered sugar if too thin.
  10. Glaze and Serve: Pour or drizzle the glaze generously over the cooled apple fritter bread just before serving.

Notes

  • Use baking apples like Granny Smith or Honeycrisp for ideal texture and tartness.
  • Peel apples before chopping to avoid chewy skins in the bread.
  • Ensure sour cream and egg are at room temperature to promote better batter texture.
  • Check doneness by inserting a toothpick or thermometer; it should read 200°F internally.
  • The glaze can be adjusted to desired thickness by adding more powdered sugar or milk.
  • Store leftovers tightly covered at room temperature for up to 2 days or refrigerate for longer freshness.
