Ingredients

2 large apples (Granny Smith or Honeycrisp), peeled, cored, and diced

1 cup granulated sugar, divided

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, divided

1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg

3 cups all-purpose flour

1 tablespoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled

1 cup whole milk

2 large eggs

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/2 cup powdered sugar (for glaze)

2 tablespoons milk (for glaze)

Instructions

Prepare the Apples: In a medium bowl, toss the diced apples with 1/4 cup of granulated sugar and 1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon. Set aside to let them macerate for about 15 minutes.

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x5 inch loaf pan with butter or non-stick spray.

Mix the Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, remaining 3/4 cup sugar, remaining 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon, and nutmeg.

Combine Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, mix the melted butter, whole milk, eggs, and vanilla extract until well combined.

Combine Mixtures: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. The batter will be thick.

Fold in Apples: Gently fold in the macerated apples with their juices into the batter.

Bake the Bread: Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top. Bake in the preheated oven for 60-70 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. If the top browns too quickly, you can cover it with aluminum foil during the last 15 minutes of baking.

Cool the Bread: Once baked, remove from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Then transfer the loaf to a wire rack to cool completely.

Make the Glaze: In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar and 2 tablespoons of milk until smooth. Adjust the consistency as needed by adding more milk or powdered sugar.

Glaze the Bread: Once the bread has cooled, drizzle the glaze over the top, allowing it to drip down the sides.

Serve and Enjoy: Slice the bread and serve it warm or at room temperature. Enjoy your delicious Country Apple Fritter Bread!
