Ingredients

Scale

For the bread:

  • 1/2 cup (115 g) unsalted butter, softened
  • 2/3 cup (135 g) granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups (190 g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 3/4 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/3 cup (80 ml) milk

For the apple mixture:

  • 2 medium apples, peeled, cored, and diced (about 2 cups)
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

For the cinnamon-sugar swirl:

  • 1/3 cup (65 g) granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

For the glaze:

  • 1/2 cup (60 g) powdered sugar
  • 1–2 tablespoons milk
  • 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

1. Prepare the bread batter

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line a 9×5-inch loaf pan with parchment paper.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy (about 2–3 minutes).
  3. Beat in the eggs, one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour and baking powder. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, alternating with the milk, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix just until combined.

2. Make the apple and cinnamon-sugar mixtures

  1. In a small bowl, toss the diced apples with 2 tablespoons sugar and 1 teaspoon cinnamon.
  2. In another small bowl, mix 1/3 cup sugar and 1 teaspoon cinnamon for the swirl.

3. Layer the bread

  1. Spread half of the bread batter evenly into the prepared loaf pan.
  2. Spoon half of the apple mixture over the batter, followed by half of the cinnamon-sugar swirl mixture.
  3. Spread the remaining batter over the apples, then top with the remaining apples and cinnamon-sugar swirl.
  4. Use a knife or skewer to gently swirl the cinnamon-sugar and apples into the batter.

4. Bake

  1. Bake in the preheated oven for 55–60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  2. Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.

5. Make the glaze

  1. In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth. Adjust the consistency by adding more milk if needed.
  2. Drizzle the glaze over the cooled bread. Allow the glaze to set before slicing.

Notes

  • Apple varieties: Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, or Fuji apples work well for this recipe.
  • Storage: Store the bread in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days, or refrigerate for up to 5 days.
  • Freezing: Wrap the cooled, unglazed bread tightly in plastic wrap and foil, then freeze for up to 3 months. Thaw and glaze before serving.
  • Add-ins: For a twist, mix chopped walnuts or pecans into the batter or apple mixture.
