MY AMISH FRIEND SHARED THIS BREAD RECIPE WITH US, AND IT’S BEEN ON REPEAT SINCE

The soft smell of baked apple and cinnamon fills the kitchen, signalling the completion of baking Amish Apple Fritter Bread, a hearty and flavourful loaf that appeals to the senses.

This bread honours the Amish custom of using simple cooking methods and natural ingredients, which has its roots in the history of Dutch and German settlers in Pennsylvania. With every bite, apple fritters and their variations—which provide a little piece of coziness—have long been a mainstay of Amish and traditional American rural cuisine. This bread is irresistibly enticing with its lovely combination of soft apples, warming spices, and tender crumb—it’s perfect for enjoying as a sweet treat to afternoon tea or as a warm start to the day.

A scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of freshly whipped cream can turn this simple delicacy into a delicious dessert for those who want to take it to the next level. On the other hand, for a breakfast or brunch occasion, or savoury sausage can provide a delectably contrasting flavour, while strong black coffee or ice-cold milk balances its sweetness.

Amish Apple Fritter Bread Recipe

1. One-third cup light brown sugar is the ingredient.
2. two tsp finely ground cinnamon
3. Two big apples, chopped, peeled, and cored
4. two and a third cups white sugar
5. Half a cup of softened unsalted butter
6. Two eggs, room temperature
7. Half a teaspoon of vanilla extract
8. 1/2 cup of flour for all purposes
9. one and a quarter tsp baking powder
10. half a cup of milk

Regarding the Glaze:

1. Half a cup of powdered sugar
2. two to three teaspoons of cream or milk

Instructions

• OPEN THE Oven to 350°F (175°C) for preparation. Line or grease a 9-by-5-inch loaf pan. In a bowl, combine brown sugar and 1 tsp cinnamon.
• Apply this mixture to the diced apples and put them aside. Beat butter and white sugar till light and fluffy.
• Add the vanilla after beating in each egg one at a time. Combine the flour and baking powder and sift.
• Stir into the whipped mixture gradually, adding milk in between each batch.
• Fill the pan with half of the batter. Apply half of the apple mixture, gently pressing it in.
• Add the apples and remaining batter on top.
• Bake for fifty to sixty minutes. Before glazing, let cool slightly. Drizzle the bread with the glaze, which is made by combining powdered sugar with milk or cream to the proper consistency.

Changes & Advice:

• For added crunch, mix in chopped pecans or walnuts with the apples. For a richer loaf, use heavy cream in place of milk.
• To add extra moisture to the batter, stir in some apple sauce. Spice it up with some nutmeg or allspice. While fresh apples yield the finest results, canned apples can be utilised during off-season.
• This warm Amish Apple Fritter Bread is a tribute to the happiness that can be found in heartfelt, straightforward baked goods.
• Its fragrant spices and soft apples will add a cosy touch to any meal, whether you serve it as a hostess gift or for your personal pleasure. Enjoy your meal!
