What You Need To Make This Apple Fritter Bread Recipe?
Eggs: Incorporating eggs, into the recipe is important as they provide the needed structure and moisture for the bread. It’s best to use eggs at room temperature for mixing with the batter.
Vanilla Extract: Adding vanilla extract enhances the flavor of the bread giving it an inviting scent.
Brown Sugar: Light brown sugar adds sweetness to the bread creating a balance with the tartness of the apples.
Granulated Sugar: Alongside brown sugar, granulated sugar adds sweetness. Helps achieve a tender crumb texture.
Ground Cinnamon: Ground cinnamon is the superstar spice in this recipe infusing the bread with an aromatic flavor.
Unsalted Butter: Opting for unsalted butter allows you to control the saltiness of your recipe resulting in a balanced taste.
Flour: All-purpose flour works best for this recipe as it provides structure without making the bread too dense.
Baking Powder: This leavening agent plays a role in making the bread rise and giving it a fluffy texture.
Whole Milk: The richness and moisture of milk greatly contribute to this bread. If desired you can substitute it with alternative milk options, like almond or oat milk.
Granny Smith Apples: Granny Smith apples are perfect, for baking due to their tartness and firmness. They maintain their shape. Create a contrast to the bread’s sweetness.
Powdered Sugar (Confectioners Sugar): We use powdered sugar to make a glaze that adds smoothness and sweetness as a topping for the bread.
Milk (for the glaze): The milk is added to achieve the desired consistency of the glaze. Adjust the amount of milk according to your preference, for thickness.
