The perfect alternative to an apple fritter donut and the aroma that fills your house with apples and cinnamon baking is fantastic. Apple fritter bread takes the beloved flavors of apple fritters and transforms them into a loaf of delicious quick bread! I highly recommend making one for the freezer like my Starbucks Banana Bread for a quick and easy delicious treat!

Why this recipe works

Apple fritter bread is moist and full of fall flavors delicious with a hot cup of coffee. I like to use Granny Smith apples their tartness makes a delicious apple filling paired with the sweetness of this bread is fantastic. If you love baking with apples during apple season you’re going to love this one and my Apple Cider Donuts!

If you have extra apples to use try my Caramel Apple Crisp or my Apple Spice Muffins!
Your baking time can vary depending on the type of apple you use.
If your loaf starts to brown too quickly place a piece of aluminum foil on top to protect it.
