Ingredients

Scale
  • ½ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened
  • ¾ cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1½ teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1½ teaspoons baking powder
  • ½ cup whole milk
  • 2 medium apples, peeled and diced (about 1½ cups)
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ⅓ cup light brown sugar, packed
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ½ cup powdered sugar
  • 23 teaspoons milk
  • ¼ teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9×5-inch loaf pan.
  2. In a small bowl, toss diced apples with 2 tablespoons of sugar and 1 teaspoon of cinnamon. Set aside to allow flavors to meld.
  3. In another bowl, combine ⅓ cup of packed brown sugar with 1 teaspoon of cinnamon. Mix well until combined.
  4. In a large mixing bowl, cream together softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in eggs one at a time, ensuring each is fully incorporated before adding the next. Stir in vanilla extract.
  5. In a separate bowl, whisk together flour and baking powder. Gradually add this mixture to the butter mixture alternately with milk, mixing just until combined.
  6. In your prepared loaf pan, spread half of the batter evenly across the bottom. Layer half of the apple mixture followed by half of the cinnamon swirl over the batter. Spread remaining batter on top, then finish with the rest of the apple mixture and cinnamon swirl; lightly press down to ensure apples are nestled into batter.
  7. Bake for 55–65 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. If browning too quickly on top, cover loosely with foil during baking.
  8. Once baked, cool bread in the pan for about 15 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack. To make the glaze, whisk together powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla until smooth. Drizzle over cooled bread before slicing.
