Ingredients

Scale

For the Bread Batter:

  • 1/2 cup (115 g) unsalted butter, softened
  • 2/3 cup (135 g) granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons 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 (e.g., Granny Smith or Honeycrisp), peeled and diced
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon

For the Brown Sugar Swirl:

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

For the Glaze:

  • 1/2 cup (60 g) powdered sugar
  • 1–2 tablespoons milk (adjust for desired consistency)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven:
    • Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F). Grease and flour a 9×5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
  2. Prepare the Apple Mixture:
    • In a small bowl, mix the diced apples with the granulated sugar and cinnamon. Set aside.
  3. Prepare the Brown Sugar Swirl:
    • In another small bowl, combine the brown sugar and cinnamon. Set aside.
  4. Make the Bread Batter:
    • In a large bowl, cream the butter and granulated sugar together until light and fluffy.
    • Beat in the eggs, one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract.
    • In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour and baking powder.
    • Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the milk. Mix until just combined.
  5. Assemble the Bread:
    • Pour half of the batter into the prepared loaf pan and spread it evenly.
    • Top with half of the apple mixture and sprinkle half of the brown sugar swirl mixture over the apples.
    • Repeat with the remaining batter, apples, and brown sugar swirl. Lightly press the apples into the batter with a spatula.
  6. Bake the Bread:
    • Bake in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
    • Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
  7. Make the Glaze:
    • In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar and milk until smooth. Adjust the milk for your preferred glaze consistency.
  8. Glaze and Serve:
    • Drizzle the glaze over the cooled bread. Slice and enjoy!

Notes

  • For extra flavor, add a pinch of nutmeg or cloves to the apple mixture.
  • The bread keeps well at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerated for up to a week.
  • You can freeze slices for up to 3 months; just thaw and glaze before serving.
