Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • 2 cups chopped apples (about 2 medium apples)
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • For the Crumb Topping:
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup cold unsalted butter, cut into pieces

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9×5 inch loaf pan.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
  3. In a large bowl, cream together the granulated sugar and softened butter until light and fluffy.
  4. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the buttermilk. Mix until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
  6. In a small bowl, toss the chopped apples with cinnamon and nutmeg.
  7. Gently fold the spiced apples into the batter.
  8. Pour half of the batter into the prepared loaf pan. Sprinkle half of the apple mixture over the batter.
  9. Pour the remaining batter over the apples, then sprinkle the remaining apple mixture on top.
  10. Prepare the crumb topping: In a small bowl, combine the flour and brown sugar. Cut in the cold butter using a pastry blender or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  11. Sprinkle the crumb topping evenly over the batter.
  12. Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  13. Let the Amish apple fritter bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes before inverting it onto a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • For best results, use firm, tart apples like Granny Smith or Honeycrisp.
  • Ensure your buttermilk is at room temperature for better batter consistency.
  • Do not overmix the batter to keep the bread tender.
  • You can add chopped pecans or walnuts to the crumb topping for extra crunch.
  • This Amish apple fritter bread is best enjoyed fresh, but can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
