your new go-to for fall bread baking

apple fritter bread

maybe it’s because this summer was unusually busy for us,

or maybe it’s because I just don’t enjoy the heat,

but this year I am looking forward to fall more than ever.

our mornings and evenings are already showing signs of the crisp fall weather that is on its way hopefully sooner rather than laterย

and even though I am not quite ready to say goodbye to tomatoes and peaches, I am more than ready to ring in apple season if you couldn’t already tell by these muffins or this crisp

I planned to spend my afternoon frying apple fritters, but our cool morning turned into a very warm afternoon, and the thought of frying made me want to cry.

the mound of apples on my counter however was begging to be used

and I have been dreaming of apple fritters for weeks, so I made the next best thing to an apple fritter

instead of the apples being mixed right into the batter like they are in fritters, they are layered on the dough and then covered in brown sugar and cinnamon, and then of course the bread is baked and not fried and drizzled with glaze

nothing says fall quite like apples with cinnamon and this loaf is loaded with both
