Fritter Bread
Directions: Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line a 9” x 5” loaf pan with foil and spray with non-stick spray. In a bowl, combine brown sugar and cinnamon and set aside. Using an electric mixer and a medium bowl, beat white sugar and butter together until smooth and creamy. Beat in eggs one at a time until blended in. Add vanilla extract. In another bowl, combine flour and baking powder and whisk together; add to butter mixture and stir until blended. Add milk to batter and mix until smooth. Pour half the batter into the loaf pan and top with half the chopped apples and half the cinnamon mixture; pat apples lightly into batter. Repeat with remaining batter, chopped apples, and cinnamon mixture. Using a knife or spoon, swirl cinnamon mixture through apples. Bake until a toothpick inserted in the center of the loaf comes out clean, approximately 50 to 60 minutes. Let cool for about 15 minutes. Old-Fashioned Creme Glaze: Combine powdered sugar and milk or cream until well mixed. Drizzle over cooled bread.
