There are coffee cakes, and then there are loaves. This is the second kind.
Imagine a tender, buttery loaf cake, swirled with ribbons of cinnamon-spiced apples and topped with a glorious, crunchy streusel that shatters with every bite. It tastes like an apple fritter—that glorious, deep-fried donut shop favorite—but in an easy, bakeable loaf form. No deep fryer. No mess. Just pure, spiced, appley perfection.
This Apple Spice Fritter Bread is the kind of loaf that fills your kitchen with the scent of cinnamon and brown sugar, that makes the whole house feel cozy, that disappears within hours of coming out of the oven. It's perfect for breakfast, brunch, dessert, or anytime you need a little taste of autumn.
Let's bake something beautiful.
