Notes

Storing Apple Fritter Bread
This sweet bread can be stored at room temperature in an airtight container or wrapped tightly for a day or two. Longer than that and it should be refrigerated. It will stay fresh for about a week.
You can make it ahead of time!
Yes, this apple fritter bread freezes really well. Just wrap the loaf or individual slices tightly with foil and plastic wrap once it's cool. Then freeze them for up to 6 months (flavor is best within the first month though). To defrost, just place them in the fridge overnight.
