New York State is the second largest apple producing state. We had apple orchards that surround our hunting land and very tall apple trees that were organic (never sprayed) on that land that he would harvest. We have no idea what type of apples they were, but they were firm, sweet-tart, and very delicious.

Baking Apples:

If you do not have granny smith apples, you can use other crisp, tart varieties. Here is some information on various commercially available apples that are good for baking! They range from sweet to tart.

● Northern Spy – tangy, robust, firm but juicy
Best use: Pies, baking
Available: October and later (winter apple)

● Paula Red – slightly tart, creamy and firm
Best use: pies, sauce
Available: Late August into October

● Jonagold – sweet with a hint of tartness, juicy, crisp, creamy yellow flesh
Best use: pies, salads, sauces, baking
Available: October through May

● Crispin – Sweet, refreshing, and super crisp.
Best use: eating, baking, freezing, or cooking into a sauce.
Available year-round.

● Empire – From the Empire State, New York, these delicious apples are a cross between Red Delicious and McIntosh and were developed by the New York State Agricultural Experiment Station. This crisp, juicy apple has a delightful sweet-tart flavor and creamy white flesh.

Tips and variations for making this Apple Fritter Bread Recipe:

● So why do we layer the apples and then swirl it in? Why don’t we just put it directly into the batter? There is a reason for this. The apples will sink into the batter as it bakes. If there isn’t a base of batter at the bottom of the loaf pan, the apples will all sink to the bottom before it even gets warm. It will end up being a bit of a sticky, albeit tasty, mess.
● One cup of finely chopped apples is anywhere from 1-3 apples depending on their size.
● For my UK and Australian friends: confectioners’ sugar is icing sugar (powdered sugar, 10x).
● Try this recipe with fresh blueberries instead of apples, you won’t be disappointed.

● Store leftovers, covered, in the fridge for up to 5 days.
● You can freeze this loaf. Make sure that it is cooled completely before wrapping it first in plastic wrap. Then wrap it in in tin foil. Freeze for up to 3 months. To thaw, unwrap and place in the fridge until you are ready to serve.
