Detailed Directions and Instructions
Prepare the Oven and Pan
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×5 inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
Combine Dry Ingredients
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt until well combined.
Mix Wet Ingredients
In another bowl, beat the eggs, then add the mashed apples, sugar, and melted butter. Mix until fully combined.
Combine Wet and Dry Mixtures
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring gently until just combined. Do not overmix.
Add Chunks of Apple
Fold in the diced apples carefully, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Pour Batter into Pan
Transfer the batter to the prepared loaf pan, spreading it evenly.
Bake the Bread
Bake for 45-55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. If the top starts browning too quickly, you can loosely cover it with aluminum foil.
Cool the Bread
Once baked, remove the bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Then, transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
Serving Suggestions
This bread is delicious on its own, but it can also be served with butter or cream cheese for added flavor.
Storage Recommendations
Store any leftover apple fritter bread tightly wrapped at room temperature for up to 3 days or in the refrigerator for a week.
Tips for Best Results
For enhanced flavor, consider adding nuts or raisins to the batter. Adjust the sweetness by adding or reducing sugar based on your preference and the sweetness of the apples used.
