WW Country Apple Fritter Bread Recipe

Ingredients:

For the Apple Filling:

  • 2 medium apples, peeled, cored, and diced
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1 tbsp sugar substitute (like Stevia or Monkfruit)
  • 1 tsp cinnamon

For the Bread:

  • 1 1/2 cups whole wheat flour (or all-purpose flour for a lighter texture)
  • 1 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/4 cup sugar substitute (or a combination of sugar substitute and real sugar for taste balance)
  • 1/4 cup unsweetened applesauce
  • 1/4 cup plain non-fat Greek yogurt
  • 1/4 cup unsweetened almond milk (or skim milk)
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tbsp light butter, melted

For the Glaze (optional):

  • 1/4 cup powdered sugar substitute (like Swerve, optional)
  • 1 tbsp almond milk (or skim milk)
  • 1/4 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions:

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan with nonstick cooking spray or line it with parchment paper for easier removal.
  2. Prepare the apple filling: In a small bowl, toss the diced apples with the lemon juice, sugar substitute, and cinnamon until the apples are well-coated. Set the mixture aside while you prepare the bread batter.
  3. Make the bread batter: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and sugar substitute until well combined.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, unsweetened applesauce, non-fat Greek yogurt, unsweetened almond milk, vanilla extract, and melted light butter until smooth. Slowly pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring just until everything is combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can make the bread dense.
  5. Layer the bread: Pour half of the bread batter into the prepared loaf pan and spread it evenly. Then, spoon half of the apple mixture over the batter. Repeat with the remaining batter and apples, creating layers. Gently swirl the apples into the batter with a knife to distribute the apple pieces through the bread.
  6. Bake the bread: Place the loaf pan into the preheated oven and bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the loaf comes out clean. If the top begins to brown too quickly, loosely cover the bread with foil for the last 15-20 minutes of baking.
  7. Cool and glaze: Once the bread is baked, remove it from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes. Then transfer the loaf to a wire rack to cool completely.
  8. If you’d like to add the glaze, whisk together the powdered sugar substitute, almond milk, and vanilla extract until smooth. Drizzle the glaze over the cooled bread for a sweet finish.
