Pumpkin Apple Fritter Loaf

A perfect combo of everyone's two favourite fall treats - this Pumpkin Apple Fritter Loaf is extra moist, super tender, and packed with fall flavour.

Does anything else scream fall more than apple fritters and pumpkin loaf? I think not. That's why I combined my favourite cozy fall recipe (aka super moist pumpkin loaf) with everyone's favourite fall donut - apple fritters with not deep frying required!

You can make this warm, spiced snack with minimal work, dishes, and time. Of course, you have to allow a couple hours for baking and cooling, but you only need to put in 15 or so minutes of work. Worth it if you ask me.

So what are you waiting for? Let's get into it!

Pumpkin Apple Fritter Loaf

Ingredients

Directions

1. Preheat to 350°F. Grease a bread pan and line with parchment paper.

3. In another bowl, coat the diced apples and walnuts in brown sugar and remaining teaspoon of cinnamon.

4. Pour half the pumpkin loaf mixture in the bread pan and spread to cover the bottom of the pan. Scoop half the apple mixture on top of the batter. Repeat for the remaining layer.

5. Place in the oven and bake for 50-55 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Allow to cool for an additional hour.

6. Make the icing by combining icing sugar, vanilla, and apple cider in a small bowl. Drizzle over the loaf when cooled and enjoy!
