Apple Fritter Bread

1. Layer the bread and apple filling: Spoon half of the bread batter into the bottom of the prepared loaf pan and smooth it out. Then, layer half of the apple filling on top. Repeat with the remaining batter and top with the rest of the apples.
2. Swirl the mixture: Use a knife or skewer to gently swirl the apple filling into the bread batter, creating a marbled effect.

Step 4: Add the Cinnamon-Sugar Topping

1. Sprinkle the topping: In a small bowl, mix the granulated sugar and cinnamon. Sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar mixture evenly over the top of the bread batter.

Step 5: Bake

1. Bake the bread: Bake in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean (or with just a few crumbs). If the top of the bread starts to brown too quickly, cover it loosely with foil and continue baking until done.

Step 6: Cool and Serve

1. Cool the bread: Let the bread cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.

Tips:

• For extra flavor: You can add a tablespoon of lemon juice to the apple filling to give it a bit of tartness.
• Make ahead: Apple Fritter Bread can be made a day ahead and stored at room temperature in an airtight container.
• Optional glaze: For an extra sweet touch, drizzle a simple glaze over the cooled bread. Mix powdered sugar with a small amount of milk until smooth, then drizzle over the top.
