Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar (divided)
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Wet Ingredients
- 0.5 cup unsalted butter (softened)
- 2 large eggs
- 0.5 cup sour cream
Produce
- 2 medium apples (peeled, cored, and chopped)
Instructions
- Prepare Oven and Pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a loaf pan thoroughly to prevent sticking.
- Cream Butter and Sugar: In a mixing bowl, beat together the softened butter and 3/4 cup of the granulated sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy, which incorporates air for a tender crumb.
- Add Eggs: Incorporate the eggs one at a time into the butter-sugar mixture, beating well after each addition to ensure full integration and smooth batter.
- Mix in Sour Cream: Add the sour cream to the batter and stir until fully combined, adding moisture and richness to the bread.
- Add Flour: Gently fold in the all-purpose flour until just combined, taking care not to overmix to keep the bread tender.
- Layer Batter and Apples: Pour half of the batter into the prepared loaf pan. Evenly layer half of the chopped apples on top of the batter.
- Add Cinnamon Sugar Layer: Mix the remaining 1/4 cup sugar with the ground cinnamon, and sprinkle half of this cinnamon sugar mixture over the apple layer in the pan.
- Repeat Layers: Pour the remaining batter over the apple and cinnamon sugar layer. Then, layer the remaining apples followed by the rest of the cinnamon sugar mixture on top.
- Bake: Bake the loaf in the preheated oven for 60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Cool and Serve: Allow the apple fritter bread to cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing and serving to enjoy the perfect texture and flavor.
Notes
- You can substitute the apples with pears for a different flavor twist.
- For extra crunch, sprinkle chopped nuts like walnuts or pecans between the layers.
- Ensure apples are peeled and chopped into small even pieces for uniform baking.
- Store leftover bread in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or in the refrigerator for up to a week.
- This bread freezes well; wrap tightly and freeze for up to 3 months.
