4. In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt.

5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with milk. Begin and end with the dry ingredients to ensure the batter stays smooth.

2. Drizzle the glaze over the cooled bread for a sweet finish.

Pro Tips for Perfect Apple Fritter Bread

✅ Don’t Overmix the Batter: Overmixing can lead to dense bread — stir only until combined.

✅ Swirl Strategically: For the perfect marbled effect, swirl the cinnamon mixture with a light hand.

✅ Storage Tip: This bread stays fresh for up to 3 days at room temperature or can be frozen for up to 3 months. Wrap it tightly to maintain its moisture.
