This isnt your average apple bread.

The butter helps to form a crispy top, similar to a craggy edge of an apple fritter.

And dont forget the rich vanilla glaze.

Whats the Best Apple for Baking?

I almost always use Granny Smith apples for baking.

I love the contrast between tart fruit and sweet batter.

If you prefer a sweeter, red apple, try Braeburn or Pink Lady apples.

Gala and Fuji apples are often too floral for baked goods, so steer clear for this recipe.
