Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup unsalted butter (for browning)
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt

Instructions

Baking your Brown Butter Apple Fritter Loaf is a straightforward process. Follow these simple steps to create your delicious treat:

  1. Brown the Butter: In a saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter, stirring frequently until it turns a golden brown color and has a nutty aroma. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
  2. Preheat the Oven: While the butter cools, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×5 inch loaf pan with butter or baking spray.
  3. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg until well combined.
  4. Combine Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together the cooled brown butter, eggs, and vanilla extract. Mix until fully combined.
  5. Combine Mixtures: Slowly pour the wet ingredients into the dry mixture, stirring until just combined. Do not overmix; a few lumps are okay.
  6. Add Apples: Gently fold in the diced apples, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
  7. Bake: Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan. Bake in the preheated oven for 50-55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  8. Cool: Once baked, remove the loaf from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes. Then, carefully turn it out onto a wire rack to cool completely.

Once cooled, you can drizzle your loaf with maple syrup and dust it with powdered sugar for that extra touch of sweetness.
