Ingredients
  

4 medium-sized apples (e.g., Granny Smith or Honeycrisp), peeled, cored, and chopped

1 cup granulated sugar, divided

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

2 cups all-purpose flour

1 tablespoon baking powder

½ teaspoon salt

½ cup unsalted butter, melted

2 large eggs

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

½ cup milk

¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg

½ cup powdered sugar (for glaze)

1-2 tablespoons milk (for glaze)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Apples: In a bowl, combine the chopped apples with ½ cup granulated sugar and the ground cinnamon. Toss gently to coat. Set aside for about 15 minutes to draw out the juices.

    Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper for easier removal.

      Make the Batter: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, nutmeg, and salt. In another bowl, mix the melted butter, remaining ½ cup granulated sugar, eggs, vanilla extract, and milk until well combined.

        Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the wet mixture to the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay.

          Fold in the Apples: Gently fold in the apple mixture until evenly distributed throughout the batter.

            Bake the Loaf: Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top. Bake for 55-65 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

              Cool: Once baked, remove the loaf from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Then, transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.

                Prepare the Glaze: In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar and enough milk to achieve a smooth drizzling consistency. Drizzle the glaze over the cooled loaf.

                  Serve and Enjoy: Slice your Christmas Amish Apple Fritter Loaf and serve it warm or at room temperature. Enjoy this delightful treat with a cup of coffee or tea during the festive season!
