Description
A cozy apple fritter sourdough discard loaf that combines the flavors of apple fritters and cinnamon coffee cake.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup sourdough discard
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 eggs
- 3/4 cup sugar (white or a mix of white and brown)
- 1/2 cup melted butter or neutral oil
- 1/2 cup milk or buttermilk
- 1 to 1 1/2 cups diced apples (Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, Pink Lady, or Fuji)
- Brown sugar plus cinnamon (for the swirl)
- Powdered sugar plus a splash of milk and vanilla (for optional glaze)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 9×5-inch loaf pan with parchment paper.
- Mix the dry ingredients in a bowl, including flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt.
- Combine the wet ingredients in another bowl: sourdough discard, eggs, sugar, melted butter, and milk.
- Stir the wet mixture into the dry mixture until just combined; do not overmix.
- Fold in the diced apples gently.
- Layer half of the batter into the prepared pan, sprinkle with cinnamon sugar swirl, add the remaining batter, then add more swirl on top.
- Swirl gently with a knife to create a marble effect.
- Bake for 50 to 60 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out mostly clean.
- Cool for at least 20 minutes before slicing.
