Cinnamon Swirl Apple Fritter Bread

This easy to make dessert or breakfast bread is a crowd pleaser and won't stick around for long.  I always try and make two loaves because this Fritter Bread always tastes good in the morning with a hot cup of coffee or tea.  What's great is Granny Smith apples are always available, but you are welcome to choose any other apple that you prefer.

Nutritional Information:
Delicious indeed!  
​
​Cannabis Infusion: ​
  • My preference for cannabis infusion  for this recipe would be do use 1/2 to a full cup of canna-flour depending on the desired potency.  These Fritters are so, so, so good that you don't want to taint them with the taste of cannabis if you aren't a fan.  
  • Another option would be to add your canna-vanilla to the recipe in place of regular vanilla and mix that together with the egg and milk of choice (I prefer Extra Creamy Oat Milk by Chobani) and beat together in an electric mixture.  
  • OR, you can just infuse your honey butter either adding in your canna-butter that you already have pre-made.  Don't have any made?  Contact me and I can help you find some. 
The Stuff You'll Need:  ​
  • 1/3 cup light brown sugar
  • 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • 2 medium Granny Smith apples, peeled and chopped
  • 2/3 cup +2 tablespoons sugar
  • 1/2 cup butter, softened
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 3/4 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/2 cup + 1 - 3 tablespoons milk or plant-based milk.  I use the Extra Creamy Oat Milk by Chobani 
  • 1 cup powdered sugar, sifted​
Pay Attention to the Directions:​
​
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Spray a 9-by-5-inch loaf pan with nonstick spray and line with parchment paper, with ends hanging over edge of pan. Spray parchment with nonstick spray.

  • Mix brown sugar and 1 teaspoon cinnamon together in a bowl; set aside. Toss apples with 2 tablespoons granulated sugar and remaining teaspoon cinnamon in another bowl; set aside.

  • Beat butter and remaining 2/3 cup granulated sugar together with mixer until light and fluffy, about 5 minutes. With the mixer on medium speed, add the eggs, 1 at a time; add vanilla extract.

  • Whisk flour, baking powder and salt together in another bowl, then add to creamed butter mixture and beat until blended. Mix 1/2 cup milk into batter until smooth.

  • Pour half the batter into the prepared loaf pan; add half the chopped apple mixture.

  • Sprinkle half of the brown sugar/cinnamon mixture on top of apple layer.

  • Pour the remaining batter over apple layer and top with remaining chopped apples, then the remaining brown sugar/cinnamon mixture.

  • Lightly pat apples into batter; swirl brown sugar mixture through apples using a knife.

  • Bake until a toothpick inserted in the center of the loaf comes out clean, approximately 1 hour and 10 minutes. Watch bread and cover with foil during last 10 minutes of baking time to prevent overbrowning if needed.

  • Let loaf rest in pan for 15 minutes , then remove from pan using edge of parchment and place on wire rack to cool completely.  

To Make Glaze
  •  Mix powdered sugar with remaining 1 to 3 tablespoons milk, thinned to desired consistency.
  • Drizzle bread with glaze.
