Ingredients
  

  • For the Bread:
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg optional
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar packed
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter melted
  • 1 cup milk
  • 2 medium apples peeled, cored, and chopped
  • For the Cinnamon Sugar Swirl:
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
  • For the Glaze:
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 2 tablespoons milk or more for desired consistency
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Equipment

  • 9x5-inch loaf pan
  • Mixing bowls (for dry and wet ingredients)
  • Whisk
  • Spoon or spatula
  • Knife or skewer (for swirling)
  • Toothpick (for testing doneness)
  • Cooling rack

Method
 

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x5-inch loaf pan.
  2. Prepare Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Set aside.
  3. Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, beat eggs, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until smooth. Add melted butter, vanilla, and milk. Mix well.
  4. Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined.
  5. Prepare the Cinnamon Sugar Swirl: In a small bowl, mix granulated sugar and cinnamon for the swirl.
  6. Layer the Bread: Pour half of the batter into the loaf pan. Sprinkle half of the cinnamon sugar mixture over the batter. Add the chopped apples, then top with the remaining batter and sprinkle the remaining cinnamon sugar over the top.
  7. Swirl the Sugar: Use a knife or toothpick to gently swirl the cinnamon sugar through the batter.
  8. Bake: Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. If the top is browning too quickly, cover with foil and continue baking.
  9. Make the Glaze: While the bread cools, whisk together powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla for the glaze.
  10. Cool and Glaze: Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack. Drizzle with the glaze once cooled.

Notes

  • Apple Choices: For a mix of tart and sweet, use a combination of Granny Smith and Honeycrisp apples.
  • Freezing: To freeze, wrap the cooled bread tightly in plastic wrap and store it in a freezer bag for up to 3 months. Thaw before serving.
  • Vegan Option: Swap eggs for a flax egg and use plant-based butter and non-dairy milk for a vegan version.
  • Add-Ins: Feel free to add chopped nuts, raisins, or even chocolate chips for a fun twist.
  • Storage: Store at room temperature for up to 2 days, or refrigerate if glazed.
