How to Make the Recipe

Let’s walk through the steps to make this delicious Amish Apple Fritter Bread:

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan and set it aside.
2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
3. In another bowl, combine the chopped apples, brown sugar, cinnamon, and ginger. Toss until the apples are evenly coated.
4. In a separate large bowl, whisk together the egg, granulated sugar, vegetable oil, sour cream, and vanilla extract until smooth.
5. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix until just combined. Do not overmix.
6. Gently fold in the apple mixture until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
7. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
8. Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
9. While the bread is baking, prepare the glaze by whisking together the powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and milk until smooth.
10. Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before glazing.
11. Drizzle the glaze over the cooled bread and serve.

Pro Tips for Making the Recipe
