Different ways to change up this recipe:
- Add a little sugar-free caramel drizzle for more sweetness and flavor.
- You don’t have to use the icing glaze, but it does add sweetness and it doesn’t change the points.
- Once you’ve enjoyed a few slices, and you want to use up the others you can use it as a crumble for a breakfast bowl. Crumble a slice onto a sheet tray and bake it until it’s slightly dried. Use it as a topping for non-fat Greek yogurt for a delicious apple fritter yogurt breakfast bowl.
- You could try this recipe with two cups of fresh, cut berries instead of apples to make it more of a summertime treat.
- Add some chopped pecans- you can never go wrong with added nuts.
Tips and Tricks for Apple Fritter Bread.
- Store in a sealed container for up to five days. If you do store it in the fridge, it’s possible it will dry out. It is better to just freeze it if you know you won’t eat it all within five days.
- You can use self-rising flour instead of all-purpose flour, baking soda, and baking powder.
- You can substitute almond flour if you need a gluten-free loaf- but the texture will be a lot softer, and it will change the points.
- You can definitely freeze this bread- as a whole loaf or even individual slices. Just wrap the loaf or slices in plastic wrap and store in a zip-lock freezer bag.
- The baking time can actually vary depending on the apples you use, your oven, your pan, etc., so start checking your apple fritter bread around 45 minutes and cook it until it’s done.
