Apple Fritter Bread

It's apple season, and I'm visiting two friends in different parts of New England, so made two loaves, one for each friend.

Note: I only used about half of the brown sugar on top, since half a cup sounded way too much. And I omitted the confectioner sugar glaze.

Maybe those omissions made the bread less apple fritter-ish, but geez, that is a lot of sweet in one recipe!

Friend 1 and I tried a slice for breakfast yesterday, and it didn't look at ALL like the photo online! Mine was very dense, very moist, weighed a ton, and had none of the bread-like texture in the photo. It was more like a "gooey cake".

Tasty, but not a bread. I call this a fail.

Don't know what I did wrong. I did notice that when I added the milk to the mixer, it didn't incorporate well, even after mixing awhile. I proceeded anyway.

Hmmph. I rarely eat sweets, so am not a well-practiced baker.

Could it have been baking POWDER instead of soda? Soda needs an acid to activate and I don't see any.

Edited to add:
That's the problem. I notice she mentions buttermilk in her notes. You have to use either milk and powder or buttermilk and soda. She needs to fix her recipe, as soda and powder are NOT interchangeable in this recipe with no other acid source.

Right you are, Karen!

I just looked up 3 other Apple Fritter Bread recipes: 2 used milk and baking powder, 1 used sour cream and baking soda.

I may make one more loaf next week the correct way, just to see what it's like.

Thank you!
