Apple Fritter Bread

Chopped apples and a brown sugar cinnamon swirl with a vanilla drizzle make this apple fritter bread a hit. You definitely don't need to tell anyone how easy it is to make.  It has a light crumb but is really moist at the same time. You can just drizzle the glaze on or if you have a sweeter tooth you can put it on a little heavier while the bread is still warm. The house smells heavenly. I think fall has just begun.

Ingredients

1/3 cup brown sugar

1 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon

2/3 cup white sugar

1/2 cup butter, room temperature

2 eggs

2 teaspoons vanilla

1 1/2 cups all purpose flour

1 3/4 teaspoons baking powder

1/2 cup plain greek yogurt (I used Chobani)

1 large apple, peeled and FINELY chopped (I used a Gala apple because that is what I had)

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

1.   Spray with baking spray a 9x5 loaf pan or glass loaf dish.

2.   Mix brown sugar and cinnamon together in a bowl and set aside.

3.   Use a stand or hand mixer to combine white sugar and butter until smooth.

4.   Add eggs and vanilla and continue to beat on medium speed until combined.

5.   Add flour and baking powder, mix, then add yogurt and mix until combined. Batter will be thick.

11. Pat topping into the batter with the back of a spoon.
