Amish Apple Fritter Bread

Categories Desserts, Recipes2 Comments on Amish Apple Fritter Bread

Apple bread deserves more recognition. This apple bread tastes like a warm apple donut. I cut the apples into bigger chunks because I like the bite to them, but feel free to cut them into smaller pieces. I used fresh grated ginger; I feel like it gives more of a punch than the ground ginger. I need everyone to make this bread; it is the perfect fall treat for these gray, cold days ahead of us.

Ingredients

  • 2 medium Granny Smith apples, peeled, cored, and chopped
  • ½ cup light brown sugar
  • 3 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon ground ginger (I grated real ginger, but feel free to use pre-ground)
  • 1 large egg, room temperature
  • ⅓ cup white granulated sugar
  • ¼ cup vegetable oil
  • ¼ cup full-fat sour cream, room temperature
  • 2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt

Glaze

  • 1 cup powdered sugar, sifted
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 3 tablespoons milk

Let’s Get Baking

Preheat your oven to 350F. Prepare your loaf pan with nonstick spray.

In a medium mixing bowl, mix the chopped apples + brown sugar+ cinnamon + ginger together and set aside.

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the egg + granulated sugar + vegetable oil + sour cream + vanilla extract until well combined.

In a separate bowl, whisk together flour + baking soda + kosher salt, then add it to the bowl of wet ingredients. Mix in the dry ingredients until almost completely mixed in.

Fold in ¾ of the amount of the apple-cinnamon mixture into the batter, then pour it into the prepared loaf pan.

Top the apple fritter bread with the remaining apple chunks and bake for 50-55 minutes.

While the bread is cooking, in a small mixing bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar + vanilla extract + milk until it comes to a smooth consistency.

Let the cake cool in the pan for at least 30 minutes before serving. Pour the glaze over the fritter bread generously right before serving.

Sourdough Discard Pumpkin Chocolate Chunk Bread

Categories Desserts, sourdoughLeave a Comment on Sourdough Discard Pumpkin Chocolate Chunk Bread

October is one of my favorite months. The leaves are changing, the weather is cooling off, and it is time to lean into all things cozy. Cozy for me includes slower moments, spices, candlelit rooms, and being wrapped up in a blanket. I think that this sourdough pumpkin bread from This Jess Cooks adds to the experience of fall. It has the perfect balance of spices, pumpkin flavor, chocolate, and my favorite, a little tang from the sourdough discard. This all comes together quickly and is ideal for sharing!

Ingredients:

  • 1 cup + 2 Tablespoons All Purpose Flour
  • 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup light or dark brown sugar
  • 1 cup pumpkin purée
  • 200 grams (about ¾ cup) sourdough discard unfed, at room temperature
  • 1/3 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 egg
  • 3/4 cup dark chocolate chunks or chips
  • 1-2 teaspoons turbinado sugar for topping (I did not have & used regular sugar instead)

Let’s Get Baking

Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan and line it with parchment paper.

In a medium bowl, whisk together flour + cinnamon + nutmeg + cloves + ginger + baking soda + salt. Set the bowl aside.

In another large bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar + brown sugar + pumpkin purée + sourdough discard + vegetable oil + egg.

Slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and stir until combined.

Fold in the chocolate chunks, keeping at least 2 Tablespoons of chocolate chunks for the topping. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly. Sprinkle the top with turbinado sugar and the leftover chocolate chunks.

Bake for 60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

Remove from the oven and let cool for 10 minutes in the pan. Then remove the loaf from the pan and transfer it to a cooling rack to cool completely.

Once cool, slice & enjoy!

Cooking w/ Friends: Kate’s Cinnamon Swirl Zucchini Bread

Categories cooking with friends, Desserts, Recipes1 Comment on Cooking w/ Friends: Kate’s Cinnamon Swirl Zucchini Bread

Cinnamon is one of my favorite spices in the kitchen. It makes you feel all warm and cozy inside. Though I prefer cooking with friends to be a recipe we made together in the kitchen; I was alongside the baking of this bread via Snapchat. Kate shared this cinnamon swirl zucchini bread with me this past weekend from Shugary Sweets which features a lovely drizzle overtop. Kate mentioned that it is perfect for using up the zucchini in the fridge before it goes bad. She also provided some baking tips, like cutting down the baking time to 50 min. I am grateful for Kate to allow me to use her recipe while I am trying to get back to the real world following my trip.

Ingredients:

For the Bread:

  • 4 Cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 1/2 Cups Sugar
  • 2 TSP Baking Powder
  • 1 TSP Baking Soda
  • 1 TSP Salt
  • 2 Cups Shredded Zucchini
  • 2/3 Cup Unsalted Butter, unsalted
  • 1 TBSP Cinnamon
  • 1/2 Cup Milk
  • 4 Large Eggs

Cinnamon Swirl:

  • 1 Cup All Purpose Flour
  • 1 Cup Light Brown Sugar, packed
  • 1 Cup Unsalted Butter, melted
  • 1 TBSP Cinnamon

Glaze:

  • 1 Cup Powdered Sugar
  • 2 TBSP Milk
  • 1 TSP Cinnamon

Let’s Get Bakin’

Preheat the oven to 350F.

Prep two 9in loaf pans with parchment or spray, or just hope for the best.

In a large bowl combine all the ingredients for the bread, stirring until combined well.

In a seperate bowl, combine the cinnamon swirl ingredients until mixed well.

Pour half the bread batter into the pans, then add on top half of the cinnamon swirl batter. With a knife or tooth-pick, gently swirl together the two batters. Repeat this again, swirling the batters together.

While the breads are baking, whisk together the glaze ingredients.

Bake for 50 minutes and let cool for 10 minutes before removing from the pan.

Once cool, drizzle the glaze over the bread.

Apple Cider Doughnut Cake

Categories Desserts, Recipes3 Comments on Apple Cider Doughnut Cake

I feel that apple cider unfairly takes spot #2 when it comes to fall flavors. Pumpkin always reigns supreme but I respectfully disagree. This doughnut cake from Princess Pinky Girl truly showcases that apple and cinnamon should be the real stars of fall flavors. My mom made this cake for a dinner with friends and I had to get the recipe from her to share because it may be one of my new favorite fall desserts.

Ingredients

  • 1 Box Yellow Cake Mix
  • 1 Cup Apple Cider
  • 1/4 TSP Cinnamon
  • 1/2 Cup Cinnamon Apple Sauce
  • 3 Large Eggs, room temp
  • 1 TBSP Brown Sugar
  • 1 TSP Vanilla
  • 1/4 TSP + 2 TBSP Cinnamon
  • 1/4 Cup Sugar
  • 1/4 Cup Unsalted Butter, melted

Apple Cider Glaze

  • 1 Cup Powdered Sugar
  • 1/4 Cup Apple Cider

Let’s Get Bakin’

Preheat the oven to 350F

In a large mixing bowl combine the cake mix + apple cider + apple sauce + water + eggs, and mix until well combined. Add in 1/4 TSP cinnamon + brown sugar + vanilla and mix well.

Lightly butter a bundt pan and flour it as well. Pour the cake mixture into the bundt pan and cook for 45 minutes. Once done, remove from heat and let cool for 20 minutes. Remove from the pan once cooled.

To make the glaze: combine the powdered sugar + apple cider in a small bowl. Whisk until desired consistency.

In a separate bowl mix together the cinnamon + sugar. Once the cake has cooled, brush the surface with the melted butter. Coat the cake with cinnamon sugar.

Serve the cake with the glaze drizzled over the slices.
