What You’ll Need
Ingredient Notes
- Apples- We used Granny Smith apples for their sweet-tart flavor, but you can also use Braeburn, Pink Lady, Galas, Honeycrisp, and other varieties.
- Rich dark sugar- This sugar contains some molasses for a richer flavor and also aids in keeping the bread damp.
- Buttermilk- This adds tangy flavor as well as moisture to the Apple Beignet Bread.
- Lemon- Fresh lemon juice will prevent the apples from browning and also add a slightly tart flavor.
- Butter- Unsalted is preferable as we are adding salt to the recipe.
- Powdered sugar- This very fine sugar makes a smooth icing when combined with milk to top our bread.
Add-ins and Substitutions
- Caramel sauce-Â Instead of a glaze, you can top this apple beignet bread with warm caramel sauce.
- Include nuts-Â Test this bread with some chopped nuts, like pecans, walnuts, or almonds.
- Convert it into muffins-Â If you prefer muffins, you can use this batter in prepared muffin tins and just bake for about 20-25 minutes.
- Make it gluten-free-Â If you want to avoid gluten, switch the flour for a gluten-free all-purpose flour. They can be interchanged at a 1:1 ratio.
How to Make Apple Beignet Bread
- Mix the wet ingredients. Combine the softened butter, granulated sugar, and rich dark sugar in a large mixing bowl using an electric hand mixer. Then add the eggs and vanilla, and beat until smooth.
mold pan with parchment paper and grease it with nonstick spray. After this, pour half of the mixture in, followed by half of the apple combination, and then the remaining mixture.
- Coat the apple fritter bread. Using a whisk, blend the confectioners’ sugar with the milk in a small bowl. Once the bread has cooled slightly, transfer it to a wire cooling rack for complete cooling. Then, drizzle the glaze on top.
Pro Tip:Â Utilize a spoon or measuring cup with a spout to glide the glaze over the bread evenly.
Cooking Tips
- Do not add all the flour at once- Add the flour mixture in intervals as it’s much easier to eliminate clumps and even out the batter this way.
- Cut the apples small- Keep the dices small for the apple pieces so that they are not too big, overshadowing the bite of bread and making it soggy.
- Create your own buttermilk- If you don’t have any buttermilk, don’t skip it. Prepare your own by combining 1/2 cup of milk with 1/2 Tbsp of lemon juice or white vinegar.
- Position parchment under before glazing- To keep it tidy, place some parchment paper under the wire rack before adding the glaze for easy cleanup.
