Just as delicious as an apple fritter donut, this bread has a layer of diced apples in the middle and on top. Pull it out of the oven, top with glaze and then try to patiently let it cool.

Donuts are right up there with cake in my books. I don’t eat them often though, soley due to the lack of donuts I can find in town. However, when I do seek them out I go straight for the apple fritters.
Every time I have one I’m left to wonder… Are we sure there’s actually apples in here?
This apple fritter bread is everything my favorite donut is lacking. There’s a layer of diced apples in the middle and on top so no shortage here! I will have one slice. one!
Another thing I love about this is the glaze. I pour it on while it’s still a bit warm so it soaks in a little but still leaves that glossy shine on top.
You’ll need to let the loaf cool before slicing. Believe me, it’s hard! Another tip: Don’t skip the foil. It makes lifting the loaf out so much easier.
