I call it Apple Fritter Bread but to be honest it is simply pure comfort in a loaf. Think of soft cinnamon-swirled bread with juicy apple chunks tucked inside like little autumn treasures and then drizzled in a sweet glaze that makes it taste almost like dessert.

Here is a true story : the very first time I made this I did not even wait for it to cool so I cut into it like a maniac and I slightly burned my fingers but it was totally worth it because I muttered to myself, “Oh my gosh this actually tastes like an apple fritter”.There is no deep-frying and there is no fancy mixer. You only need a bowl and a spoon and maybe a little chaos in the kitchen.
