Ingredients:

For the Apple Fritter Bread:

• 3 medium baking apples, peeled and chopped
• ½ cup light brown sugar
• 1 heaping teaspoon ground cinnamon
• ½ teaspoon ground ginger
• 1 large egg, room temperature
• ⅓ cup white granulated sugar
• ¼ cup vegetable oil
• ¼ cup full-fat sour cream, room temperature
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• ½ teaspoon kosher salt

For the Glaze:

• 1 cup powdered sugar, sifted
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 3 tablespoons milk

Directions:

1. Prepare the Bread:

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a loaf pan with nonstick spray or cake release to prevent sticking.

2. Mix Apples and Spices:

In a medium bowl, combine the chopped apples, brown sugar, cinnamon, and ground ginger. Stir until the apples are evenly coated with the sugar and spices. Set aside.

3. Mix the Wet Ingredients:

In a large bowl, whisk together the egg, granulated sugar, vegetable oil, sour cream, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth and well combined.

4. Combine the Dry Ingredients:

In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and kosher salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until almost fully incorporated.

5. Assemble the Bread:

Gently fold ¾ of the apple-cinnamon mixture into the batter, ensuring that the apples are evenly distributed. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and spread it out evenly. Top the batter with the remaining apple mixture, spreading it across the surface.

6. Bake the Bread:

Place the loaf pan in the preheated oven and bake for 50-55 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the bread reaches 200°F (93°C). The bread should be golden brown and firm to the touch. Allow the bread to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.

7. Prepare the Glaze:

While the bread is cooling, whisk together the powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and milk in a small bowl until smooth and free of lumps.

8. Glaze and Serve:

Once the bread has cooled slightly but is still warm, generously drizzle the vanilla glaze over the top of the loaf. Let the glaze set before slicing the bread. Serve warm for the best flavor!

Quick Tips:

• Perfect Apples: Use a sturdy baking apple such as Granny Smith or Honeycrisp for the best results. These apples hold their shape during baking and provide a nice balance of tartness and sweetness.
• Customize the Glaze: If you prefer a thicker glaze, reduce the amount of milk. For a more intense vanilla flavor, add a dash of vanilla bean paste or a pinch of cinnamon to the glaze.
