Ingredients:

For the Apple Fritter Bread:

2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp salt
1 tsp ground cinnamon
1/2 tsp ground nutmeg
1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
2 large eggs
1/2 cup sour cream
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups peeled and diced apples (about 2 medium apples)

For the Cinnamon Sugar Swirl:

1/4 cup granulated sugar
1 tbsp ground cinnamon

For the Glaze (optional):

1/2 cup powdered sugar
1-2 tbsp milk
1/2 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions:

Preheat the Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour your loaf pan, or line it with parchment paper.
Prepare the Cinnamon Sugar Swirl:
- In a small bowl, mix together the granulated sugar and cinnamon. Set aside.
Mix the Dry Ingredients:
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg.

- In another bowl, mix the melted butter, eggs, sour cream, and vanilla extract until well combined.
Combine the Mixtures:
- Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring just until combined.
- Fold in the diced apples.
Assemble the Bread:
- Pour half of the batter into the prepared loaf pan. Sprinkle half of the cinnamon sugar mixture over the batter.
- Pour the remaining batter on top and sprinkle with the remaining cinnamon sugar mixture. Use a knife or skewer to swirl the cinnamon sugar into the batter, creating a marble effect.
Bake the Bread:
- Bake in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- If the top starts to brown too quickly, cover loosely with aluminum foil.
Cool and Glaze:
- Allow the bread to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
- If desired, mix powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract to make a glaze. Drizzle over the cooled bread.
