Amish Apple Fritter Bread Recipe

My Amish friend shared this bread recipe with us and we’ve been using it ever since!

The scent of apple and cinnamon gently filling the kitchen is a clear indication of the oven-baked Amish Apple

Fritter Bread, a bread that appeals to both the heart and the palate with its comforting, homey charm. This bread

pays homage to the Amish tradition of using natural ingredients and simple cooking techniques, a practice

rooted in the heritage of Dutch and German settlers in Pennsylvania. Apple fritters and their variations have long

been a cornerstone of Amish and traditional American cuisine, offering a touch of comfort in every bite.Whether

as a warm start to the day or as a sweet addition to afternoon tea – the delicious combination of soft apples,

warm spices and tender crumb makes this bread irresistibly tempting.

If you want to refine this rustic treat, you can turn it into an exquisite dessert with a dollop of freshly whipped

cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream. Alternatively for breakfast or brunch, pairing with strong black coffee or

iced milk complements the sweetness, while crispy bacon or savory sausage can provide a delicious contrast in

flavor.
