Instructions
To Make the Apple Fritter Bread:

- Apple Mixture: In a medium bowl, combine chopped apples, brown sugar, cinnamon, and ginger. Set aside.
- Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk egg, granulated sugar, vegetable oil, sour cream, and vanilla until smooth.
- Dry Ingredients: In another bowl, mix flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually combine with wet ingredients, mixing until nearly combined.
- Combine: Fold in ¾ of the apple mixture, then pour the batter into the prepared pan. Top with remaining apple chunks.
- Bake: Bake for 50-55 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 200°F. Let cool in the pan for 30 minutes before removing.
To Make the Glaze:
- Mix: In a small bowl, whisk powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and milk until smooth.
- Serve: Drizzle generously over the cooled bread before serving.
Notes
- For an apple cake, use a 6-cup bundt pan and bake until internal temperature is 200°F.
- Ideal apples: Empire, Pink Lady, Granny Smith, or Honeycrisp.
- This recipe adapts well to different loaf pan sizes.
