Ingredients
  

2 cups all-purpose flour

1 cup granulated sugar

1 tablespoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg

1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted

1/2 cup whole milk

2 large eggs

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

2 cups peeled, cored, and diced apples (such as Granny Smith or Honeycrisp)

1/2 cup chopped pecans or walnuts (optional)

1 cup powdered sugar

2-3 tablespoons milk (for glaze)

Instructions
 

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan and set aside.

    In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg until well combined.

      In another bowl, mix the melted butter, whole milk, eggs, and vanilla extract until fully integrated.

        Gradually combine the wet mixture with the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay.

          Gently fold in the diced apples and nuts (if using) until evenly distributed throughout the batter.

            Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.

              Bake in the preheated oven for 55-65 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the loaf comes out clean.

                Once done, remove the loaf from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.

                  While the loaf is cooling, prepare the glaze by whisking together the powdered sugar and enough milk to reach your desired consistency. The glaze should be pourable but not too runny.

                    Once the loaf is completely cooled, drizzle the glaze over the top and allow it to set for a few minutes before slicing.

                      Serve slices of the Christmas Amish Apple Fritter Loaf warm or at room temperature, and enjoy the festive flavors with family and friends!
