2 cups all-purpose flour Substitution: Use gluten-free flour blend for a gluten-free version.
1 cup granulated sugar Note: Reduce slightly for a less sweet bread.
1 tbsp baking powder Essential for rising.

1/2 cup vegetable oil Substitution: Melted butter can be used for a richer taste (allow to cool before use).
1 tsp vanilla extract No direct substitute; for flavor variation, consider almond extract.

Method

Step-by-Step Instructions for Amish Apple Fritter Bread

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan with butter or cooking spray.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, salt, and ground cinnamon until fully combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk the large eggs with vegetable oil, vanilla extract, and milk until smooth.
Gently pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined, then fold in the chopped apples.
Pour half of the batter into the loaf pan, sprinkle half of the cinnamon sugar mixture, then pour the remaining batter and top with the rest of the cinnamon sugar.
Using a butter knife, gently swirl the mixtures together to create a marbled effect within the batter.
Place the loaf pan in the oven and bake for 50 to 60 minutes, checking for doneness with a toothpick.
While the bread cools, whisk together the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract in a small bowl to make the glaze.
After cooling the bread on a wire rack, drizzle the glaze over the top before slicing.
