Note: *We used Arrowhead Mills Organic Rye Flour.To use the windowpane test to check dough for proper gluten development, lightly flour hands and pinch off (don’t tear) a small piece of dough. Slowly pull the dough out from the center. If the dough is ready, you will be able to stretch it until it’s thin and translucent like a windowpane. If the dough tears, it’s not quite ready. Beat for 1 minute, and test again. LEGGI TUTTO
Apple Fritter Bread is filled with chunks of fresh apple, ribbons of cinnamon-sugar, and topped with boiled cider glaze. Nearly dessert, yet breakfast-appropriate. A loaf makes a wonderful homespun gift for a deserving friend or neighbor.
Confession: I can’t stop making and eating this Apple Fritter Bread. It holds all the best things about baking season. It’s hearty and sweet; uncomplicated to make and it fills your home with delicious aromas. It’s jam-packed with chunks of fresh apple and ribbons of cinnamon sugar. I have plans to make several more loaves just to give to friends and neighbors. I can’t think of anyone who wouldn’t love a hefty loaf covered with cider glaze and chopped pecans.
The first layer.
First, mix up the simple batter. It’s the buttery, vanilla-scented base that will support and hold all of those tasty additions throughout the loaf. You can use a hand mixer for this task. Layer 1/3 of the batter into the bottom of a 9×5 inch greased loaf pan.
Next, toss some chopped apples in cinnamon-sugar. You’ll need 3 large or 4 small apples for this recipe. Use practically any apple you have on hand. This bread is very forgiving. Granny Smith is my preference for baking, Gala, Honeycrisp, and Pink Lady work well, too.
Next, sprinkle brown sugar and cinnamon over the apples. I added some chopped pecans, which could be optional. However, the nutty, sweet flavor of pecans is so good in this bread!
More layers!
Continue the layering process two more times with the remaining batter and ingredients. Doing this creates ribbons of brown sugar throughout the loaf.
The final layer will be apples and cinnamon-sugar. The top bakes to deep golden and sugar crusted while the interior becomes moist with the juices from the baked apple chunks.
Let the bread cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before turning it out. Cool on a wire rack before adding the glaze.
A magic ingredient.
Here’s one of my favorite fall ingredients of all time! Boiled cider imparts tart apple flavor. It’s pure concentrated apple in a bottle. You can find it for purchase online from King Arthur Baking. Mixed with powdered sugar, it makes an incredibly flavorful glaze. However, you can still make a cider glaze without it. Use regular bottled apple cider or apple juice in its place.
Top it off.
Drizzle the glaze over the bread. This loaf won’t crown much on top, because it is dense with all those apples, pecans, and sugar. This inhibits the middle from puffing up, but doesn’t affect the tenderness of the crumb.
Add a few more pecans on top, if you’re feeling a little extra.
This Apple Fritter Bread gets its inspiration from – you guessed it! – fried apple fritters. Which are absolutely delicious but slightly more involved with all that frying. (Find my Homemade Apple Fritter Bread right here – they are worth the effort!) However, this bread doesn’t require much attention, and it is well-suited to those who want to cozy up with a book for an hour while it bakes.
Apple Fritter Bread with Boiled Cider Glaze
Heather Baird
This bread is the perfect way to celebrate fall’s apple harvest, but it’s good any time of year! It is truly reminiscent of fried apple fritters with all those chunks of fresh apple in the batter. You’ll need about 3 large apples to yield the 2 cups of chopped apple required for this recipe. The baker’s stand-by, Granny Smith, is great; however you can use whatever variety you have on hand. Juicier apples will impart more moisture into the crumb, which is nice. I have used Gala, Pink Lady, and Golden Delicious with success.

Soft and Buttery Homemade Biscuits
These biscuits are literally swimming in butter. Butter underneath, butter on top, made with buttermilk – all this to say, these homemade biscuits taste DELICIOUS. Soft butter swim biscuits are one of our favorite sides. These buttermilk biscuits are tender and moist beneath a buttery, crisp surface, ready in 30 minutes or less! Sweet enough to spread with jam for breakfast, yet also perfect for soaking up the savory flavors of chilis and stews.
What’s Special About Butter Swim Biscuits?
What is a butter swim biscuit, you ask? These classic biscuits are special in that they’re exceptionally moist, soft, and full of flavor. This is because they’re cooked in butter that steams as the dough bakes, trapping pockets of air inside. Thanks to these air pockets, as the dough cools off, you’re left with a biscuit that’s crazy-light and flaky in texture. I like to think of a butter swim biscuit as a croissant’s hearty, pan-baked, low-maintenance cousin.
Ingredients You’ll Need
You’ll need just six ingredients to make these simple and incredibly tasty butter swim biscuits from scratch. Here’s an overview, with the full details waiting in the recipe card:
Butter: I use salted butter for this recipe for the extra flavor. All Purpose Flour: I use regular all-purpose flour for the most consistent results.Baking Powder: You can’t have light, fluffy biscuits without it!Granulated Sugar: Sugar gives these buttery biscuits just a hint of sweetness.Kosher SaltButtermilk: Buttermilk brings all its glorious sweet-tangy flavor to these butter swim biscuits. You can use store bought buttermilk, or see the tips section later on for an easy substitute.
How to Make the Best Buttermilk Biscuits
This flaky biscuit recipe is SO easy. I can’t wait for you to try it for yourself. Here’s what you need to do:
Melt the Butter: First, you’ll warm up the pan and melt the first butter layer. While you prepare the biscuit batter, place the cubed butter into a 9×9 baking pan and pop the pan in the oven while it preheats. Make sure to check on it every so often, to make sure the butter doesn’t overheat.
Make the Batter: Whisk together the dry ingredients, and then add in the buttermilk. Use a wooden spoon to bring the batter together into a stick dough. Be careful to not over mix!
Assemble the Biscuits: Take your pan with the melted butter out of the oven, and transfer the biscuit dough into the pan over top of the butter. Spread the dough out to the sides using a spatula or the wooden spoon from earlier. Lastly, cover the top of the biscuit dough with additional melted butter – this helps the dough bake up all delicious and golden.
Bake: Before you place the biscuits into the oven, use a knife to cut the unbaked dough into 9 even-sized squares. Finally, you’ll send your butter swim biscuits back for a quick dip in the oven (about 20 minutes or so), until the tops are crisp and golden brown.
Tips for Success
These butter swim biscuits are some of the most fluffy and delicious biscuits I’ve ever tasted. Here are some tips to make sure yours come out just as irresistible:
Don’t Burn the Butter: Not all ovens are the same, so keep an eye on your butter while it’s melting in the baking pan. You don’t want boiling butter, just nicely melted.Serve Warm: These biscuits are best served warm from the oven, or at least warmed back up before serving to really taste the buttery goodness.Use a Different Pan: If you prefer a thicker biscuit, you can bake these in an 8×8 pan. Just follow the recipe as directed and increase the baking time to 20 to 23 minutes instead. See the variations section below for more ways to adapt this recipe!No Buttermilk in the Fridge?: No problem. You can make an easy substitute by combining 1 cup of milk with 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or white vinegar. Let it rest for 5 minutes and voila! Buttermilk in a pinch.
Variation Ideas
Sure, these biscuits are living their best life just as they are. But mixing it up a little never hurts. Here are some variation ideas for butter swim biscuits:
Thicker Biscuits: As mentioned in the section above, making this recipe in an 8×8 baking dish will yield a thicker biscuit. Don’t forget to increase the baking time!Herbed Butter Biscuits: Stir your choice of fresh herbs into the butter before melting and baking. Good options are thyme, rosemary, tarragon, and fennel seeds.Gluten Free Biscuits: These buttermilk biscuits can easily be made gluten free by swapping the regular all-purpose flour for gluten free flours.
Serving Suggestions
If the thought of these butter swim biscuits has you salivating already, just wait until you see them in action. Here are some simple and scrumptious ways to enjoy your butter biscuits:
Serve these at breakfast sliced open and smeared with fruit jam or preserves, or drizzled with maple syrup.Use these biscuits to make extra buttery, mini breakfast sandwiches. Top them with an egg cooked to your liking, along with crispy bacon and melted cheese. Or use these biscuits in place of the Hawaiian rolls in this recipe for Maple Sausage Breakfast Sliders. Send your biscuits swimming again, this time in white sausage gravy, for easy homemade biscuits and gravy.These buttery crisp biscuits are wonderful to serve with hearty soups, stews, chili, and saucy dishes as a way to mop up all the flavor. We love to serve them with Old Fashioned Brunswick Stew, Chunky Beef Chili and Slow Cooker Beef Tips. They’re also just as delicious as a bread side next to Crockpot Mashed Potatoes, Crispy Air Fryer Chicken Tenders, and Air Fryer Asparagus or other roasted veggies as a family-friendly meal. Enjoy these biscuits topped with Apple Cider Caramel Sauce for a sweet and buttery treat.
Storage and Reheating
Leftover butter swim biscuits are easy to keep in the fridge for up to 4 to 5 days. Just place them in an airtight container, and reheat them whenever you’re craving something buttery and delicious (in my case, this is all the time, but I digress).
To reheat the biscuits, pop them back into the oven on low for about 10 minutes until they’re warmed through. Otherwise the microwave can speed things up, just reheat the biscuits on high for 30 seconds or so.
Can I Freeze These?
Yes! To freeze these butter swim biscuits, I like to wrap them individually in foil or plastic wrap, and then place them together into a freezer bag. When stored airtight, they’ll keep frozen for up to 2 months. Thaw the butter biscuits in the fridge overnight or on the countertop for a bit before reheating and serving.

Butter Swim Biscuits
Author: Shelly
Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 20 minutes
Total Time: 30 minutes
Yield: 9 biscuits 1x
Category: Bread
Method: Oven
Cuisine: American
Description
Baked golden in butter, these heavenly Butter Swim Biscuits are soft and moist with crispy edges. The ultimate buttermilk biscuit recipe!
Ingredients
Scale
1x2x3x
1/2 cup salted butter, plus additional melted butter for pouring on top of the batter
2 1/2 cups all purpose flour
4 teaspoons baking powder
4 teaspoons granulated sugar
2 teaspoons kosher salt
2 cups buttermilk
Instructions
Place butter in a 9×9 pan. Turn the oven to preheat to 450°F. Place the pan in the oven as it preheats allowing the butter to melt and the pan to heat up.
In a large bowl whisk together the flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt.
Add in the buttermilk and using a wooden spoon, stir together to combine. A sticky dough will form.
Remove the pan from the oven when the butter has melted and spread the dough on top of the melted butter in the pan. Use the spoon or a spatula to evenly spread the dough out to the sides of the pan. Cover the top of the batter with additional melted butter, this helps the top bake up golden.
Using a knife cut the raw dough into 9 biscuits before baking. Place the pan back in the oven and bake for 18 – 20 minutes until golden brown.
Notes
Best served warm.
You can also bake these in an 8×8 pan for a thicker biscuit. Follow the instructions as written but increase the bake time to 20 – 23 minutes.
