Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Wet Ingredients
- 1/3 cup vegetable oil
- 1 cup plant-based milk
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon natural vanilla extract
Add-ins and Toppings
- 1 cup chopped fresh apples (preferably tart and firm like Granny Smith)
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar mixed with 1 teaspoon cinnamon (for cinnamon sugar swirl)
- Sweet glaze (natural) for drizzling on top
Instructions
- Prepare the Batter: In a large bowl, mix together the dry ingredients: all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, salt, and ground cinnamon to ensure even distribution. In a separate bowl, whisk the vegetable oil, plant-based milk, egg, and natural vanilla extract. Gradually combine the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just blended to keep the bread tender.
- Add the Apples and Cinnamon Sugar: Carefully fold in the chopped apples to maintain their shape and texture. Prepare the cinnamon sugar swirl by mixing cinnamon and granulated sugar. Reserve half the mixture for layering inside the batter. Sprinkle the reserved half through the batter before transferring it to the loaf pan to create the signature apple fritter flavor and texture.
- Bake to Perfection: Pour the batter into a greased or lined loaf pan. Sprinkle the remaining cinnamon sugar evenly over the top to form a caramelized crust. Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 50 to 60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Glaze and Cool: Once out of the oven and slightly cooled, drizzle a sweet natural glaze over the top while the bread is still warm. The glaze will soak in lightly, adding shine and gentle sweetness. Allow the bread to cool completely before slicing to preserve moistness.
Notes
- Use tart, crisp apples such as Granny Smith to balance sweetness and maintain slice shape.
- Mix the batter just until combined to avoid dense bread.
- Oven temperatures vary; start checking for doneness around 50 minutes.
- Allow the bread to cool fully before slicing for best texture.
- Customize the glaze by adjusting sweetness or thickness with more powdered sugar or plant-based milk.
