You can always count on this recipe—it’s the first thing people finish at gatherings.

There’s just something so comforting about the smell of apples and cinnamon wafting through the house, especially on a cool fall day. This apple fritter bread is a lovely twist on the classic donut shop favorite but in a loaf form that’s perfect for slicing and sharing with family and friends. It’s a wonderful treat for breakfast, a snack, or even dessert, and it’s a great way to use up those extra apples you might have from a recent trip to the orchard.
This apple fritter bread pairs wonderfully with a hot cup of coffee or tea for a cozy breakfast. If you’re looking to make it more of a complete meal, try serving it with a side of scrambled eggs or an egg casserole to add some protein. For a more decadent twist, consider adding a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream when you serve it as a dessert.
