FAQ

Can I use non-dairy milk instead of whole milk?

Yep, you can use almond or soy milk if you want, but it might slightly change the flavor.

How do I know when the bread is done baking?

Just stick a toothpick in the center; if it comes out clean, you're good to go.

Can I add nuts or extra fruits to the recipe?

Sure, the recipe calls for optional walnuts or pecans, and you can experiment with raisins or other fruits.

What type of apples works best for this bread?

Fried apples like Granny Smith or Honeycrisp give a nice balance between tart and sweet.

How should I store leftovers?

Keep any extra bread in an airtight container on the counter for up to 3 days or in the fridge if you want it last longer.

Easy Amish Apple Fritter Bread Recipe Substitutions and Variations

All purpose flour: You can use whole wheat flour instead if you want a nuttier, denser bread, but it might need a bit more liquid.
Whole milk: If you’re out of whole milk, almond milk or soy milk works fine though it may change the flavor just a tad.
Unsalted butter: Try coconut oil or even margarine as a substitute; they may alter the taste a bit but still do the trick.
Eggs: If you dont have eggs, you can make a flax egg by mixing 1 tablespoon ground flaxseed with 3 tablespoons water and letting it sit for a few minutes.
Walnuts or pecans: You can swap these for sunflower seeds or just leave them out if you have a nut allergy or dont like nuts.

Pro Tips

1. Be careful not to over mix your batter – just stir until everything is combined. Over mixing can make the bread tough and dense.
2. Toast the walnuts or pecans in a dry skillet for a few minutes before folding them in. This brings out a richer flavor and a crunch that really works with the apples.
3. Chop your apples into evenly sized pieces so that every bite gets a good mix of fruit and the bread bakes more evenly.
4. When checking if its done, use a toothpick or skewer by poking it in the center. Even if a few moist crumbs stick to it, its perfect if there isnt any wet batter clinging on.
