Apple fritters are one of my favorite donuts. The crispy, crunchy exterior and fall spices hit the spot every time. I made homemade donuts once and while a fun experience, frying foods in a home kitchen is not my favorite thing. So I developed this Cinnamon-Spiced Apple Fritter Bread recipe that's the best of both worlds!

Key Takeaways

Cinnamon Apple Fritter Bread combines a crispy exterior with a soft, spiced apple center, making it an ideal fall treat.
The recipe offers an easy way to enjoy apple flavors without deep-frying, and it pairs perfectly with coffee.
Enjoy the warm bread, possibly with a drink from Buck's Coffee, which offers a discount with a special promo code.

Apple fritters are a fall favorite that combine crispy, golden exteriors with soft, cinnamon-spiced apple centers. Each bite gives you that perfect contrast of textures: a crunchy outside with a tender, juicy filling that's loaded with warm spices like cinnamon and nutmeg. The dough is lightly sweetened to let the natural flavor of the apples shine through, and once fried, each fritter is dusted with a touch of sugar or glazed for a little extra indulgence. It's like biting into the best parts of a donut and a fresh apple pie, all in one. Pair a warm apple fritter with your morning coffee, and you've got the ultimate autumn treat!

Apple Filling

2 cups apples peeled, cored and diced

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees and spray loaf pan with nonstick spray.
In a small mixing bowl combine brown sugar and cinnamon and set aside.

In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment cream together butter and sugar until light and creamy.
Add eggs mixing well between each addition and then add vanilla.
Combine wet ingredients with dry ingredients, alternating with ½ cup milk. I prefer to do this step by hand to prevent over mixing.
