If you like apple fritters then you’ll love this Apple Fritter Pull-Apart Bread! I tried rolling the dough, like cinnamon rolls, however the texture wasn’t right. So even though this may look somewhat complicated to make, it’s not. You get all the flavors of an apple fritter, the texture and the wonderful glaze baked into one big bread. We ate ours warm and it is delicious!
Ingredients are as follows:
Dough:
3 C flour
1 package yeast
1/4 tsp. salt
1/2 C brown sugar
1/4 C water
1 egg, beaten
3/4 C milk
1/4 C butter
Filling:
6 small apples, peeled & diced
1 Tbsp. lemon juice
1 C brown sugar
1 tsp. vanilla
2 Tbsp. butter
1 tsp. cinnamon
1 tbsp. cornstarch
Glaze:
1 Tbsp. butter, softened
1 tsp. vanilla
3/4 C powdered sugar
3 tsp. half & half (or milk)
Directions:Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease a 9 x 5 bread pan.
In a skillet, cook apples, lemon juice, brown sugar, vanilla, butter, cinnamon & cornstarch until mixture is thickened. Set aside to cool.
Heat the milk in a small saucepan until it bubbles; remove from heat. Add the butter and stir until melted; set aside.
Put flour, yeast, brown sugar and salt in a bowl, mix well.
Add the water, egg and milk/butter mixture.
Mix until dough forms into a ball; knead for an additional five minutes.
On a well floured surface, roll dough into a rectangle.
Evenly spread apple mixture over dough.
Cut dough into even squares (I got 20 from my dough).
Carefully stack pieces of dough onto each other forming four piles. (use a spatula, it makes stacking much easier!)
Place piles of dough into prepared pan.
Bake 45-50 minutes; until golden brown. Immediately remove from pan.
Mix butter, vanilla and powdered sugar into a bowl. Add half & half; stir until you get a creamy consistency.
Pour on glaze and allow to setup for a few minutes.
Pull some apart and enjoy!
Your apple fritter bread looks fantastic!! Thanks for sharing 🙂
This looks like something I wouldn't share. YUMMMM!!! I gotta try this recipe! Thanks for sharing at Saturday Night Fever! See you again this weekend!
Wow, this looks so yummy! Thanks for sharing on Saturday Night Fever!
My loaf is in the oven now! Smells and looks delicious. I can't wait to get that glaze on the top. I also needed to add about 3/4 cup of extra flour for it to form a ball. But kneaded it with lots of flour. I hope it doesn't make it too heavy. Also mine is taking a lot longer to bake. I'm excited for my husband to get home to enjoy it. Thanks for the recipe!
Thank you…I hope you enjoy!
So, there's no waiting for the dough to rise with this?
No, there is no need to let it rise 🙂
