I grew up in a big French family, with a kitchen that was always full of flavors, aromas, and love. I remember the nights my Grand-mère would come over for dinner, always bearing a homemade dessert. One of my favorites was her Apple Fritter Bread. I would watch, mesmerized, as she carefully combined the ingredients, stirring and folding until a golden-brown, comforting loaf emerged from the oven.
My Grand-mère’s Apple Fritter Bread became a staple in our family, and I’ve continued to make it for my own family. I love the way the apples and cinnamon mingle together in a symphony of warmth and sweetness. It’s a comforting, classic French treat that’s perfect for any occasion.
Today, I’m excited to share this beloved recipe with you. I hope you enjoy making this Apple Fritter Bread as much as my family has!
Variations: For a sweeter treat, sprinkle additional sugar on top before baking. For a more savory version, add 1/4 teaspoon of garlic powder to the dry ingredients. To make a vegan version, substitute the butter for a vegan-friendly alternative and the eggs for a flax egg.
Tips: Be sure to use ripe apples and chop them into small cubes. If your apples are too large, they will sink to the bottom of the loaf. Serve the bread warm with a pat of butter or a scoop of ice cream.
