Ingredients
  

  • 2 medium baking apples peeled and chopped
  • ½ cup light brown sugar
  • 2 teaspoon ground cinnamon heaping spoonfuls
  • 1 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1 large egg room temperature
  • cup white granulated sugar
  • ¼ cup vegetable oil
  • ¼ cup full-fat sour cream room temperature
  • 2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt
  • Glaze
  • 1 cup powdered sugar sifted
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 3 tablespoon milk

Instructions
 

  • Make Apple Fritter Bread
  • Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F. Prepare your loaf pan with nonstick spray or cake release.
  • In a medium mixing bowl, mix the chopped apples, brown sugar, cinnamon, and ginger together. Set aside.
  • 2 medium baking apples,½ cup light brown sugar,2 teaspoon ground cinnamon,1 teaspoon ground ginger
  • In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the egg, granulated sugar, vegetable oil, sour cream, and vanilla extract until well combined.
  • 1 large egg,⅓ cup white granulated sugar,¼ cup vegetable oil,¼ cup full-fat sour cream,2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and kosher salt, then add it to the bowl of wet ingredients. Use a rubber spatula or wooden spoon to mix the in dry ingredients until almost completely mixed in.
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour,1 teaspoon baking soda,½ teaspoon kosher salt
  • Fold in ¾ the amount of the apple-cinnamon mixture into the batter, then pour into your prepared loaf pan.
  • Top the apple fritter bread with the remaining apple chunks and bake for 50-55 minutes, or until the internal temperature is 200 degrees F.
  • Let the cake cool in the pan for at least 30 minutes before serving. I personally like waiting an hour or until it's room temperature.
  • Make the Powdered Sugar Glaze
  • In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and milk until it comes to a smooth consistency. If it's too thin for your liking, sift in a little more powdered sugar.
  • 1 cup powdered sugar,1 teaspoon vanilla extract,3 tablespoon milk
  • Pour the glaze over the fritter bread generously right before serving.

Notes

Variations and Pro Tips
You can make this an apple cake by using a 6 cup bundt pan, bake until the internal temperature of the cake is 200 degrees F. So make sure you have a thermometer handy.
Use your favorite baking apples. Baking apples are those that can hold up to heat and cooking without turning to mush: my personal faves are Empire, Pink Lady, Granny Smith, and Honeycrisp.
This recipe works in an 8x4 inch loaf pan, a 9x5 inch loaf pan, and in the 10.1x5.7x3.2 loaf pan I used.
Storage, Freezing, and Thawing Instructions
Let the apple fritter bread cool completely to room temperature before wrapping in plastic wrap and placing in a gallon-sized zip top. It'll last for two days on the countertop or for 1 week in the fridge.
To freeze: Once the bread is completely cooled down, wrap it in many layers of plastic wrap, then put it in a freezer-safe zip-top bag. It'll stay good for up to 3 months.
To thaw: let the bread thaw on the counter overnight until it is room temperature and ready to eat.
