Apple Fritter Quick Bread
This apple fritter bread tastes like fall. With its warm cinnamon sugar topping, a lovely sweet glaze, and the apple bits running through the center of each slice, this is the sort of bread you eat while wearing big sweaters and sipping hot cider. Who needs pumpkin spice when you can have apple?
(Okay, okay, I like pumpkin spice too, which you can see in this cake, these bars, and these truffles.)
Now, to the recipe:

Notes
If making mini-loaves, lower the temperature to 325° and bake for 30-40 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Adapted from The Baking ChocolaTess
Instructions
The batter is super easy to make. Start by whipping the butter and sugars, then add in the vanilla and eggs. Next, the dry ingredients, and finish it off with the milk to make everything nice and smooth.
Next, mix the brown sugar and cinnamon together to get the topping.
Also, at some point, you should peel and chop the apples. I chopped mine pretty small.
Now, you’re going to eyeball about half the batter and spread it into your greased loaf pan. Top that with half the apples and half the cinnamon sugar topping. It’ll look like this:
We’re not done yet! The second half of the batter needs to be spread on top, then topped with apples and cinnamon sugar. Now you’re ready to bake that baby for 50 minutes at 350° and enjoy the amazing apple aroma that pervades your home.
While the bread is baking, you can make the glaze. Just dump the powdered sugar into a bowl, then add milk 1 Tbsp a a time until you get the thickness you want.
Once your loaf comes out, drizzle it with the glaze and enjoy a warm, delicious slice of apple fritter bread!
