Ingredients
For the Bread:
-
1/3 cup light brown sugar (for apple mixture)
-
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
-
2/3 cup white sugar
-
1/2 cup butter, softened
-
2 eggs
-
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
-
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
-
1 3/4 teaspoons baking powder
-
1/2 cup milk
For the Apple Layer:
-
2 small apples, peeled and chopped (Granny Smith or Honeycrisp)
-
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
-
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
For the Glaze:
-
1/2 cup powdered sugar
-
1-2 tablespoons milk or cream
Instructions
1. Prepare the Apple Mixture
In a small bowl, mix chopped apples with 2 tablespoons sugar and 1 teaspoon cinnamon. Set aside to let the flavors soak in.
2. Mix the Batter
In a large bowl, cream the butter and white sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in eggs one at a time, then add vanilla.
In another bowl, whisk flour and baking powder together. Slowly mix the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, alternating with milk.
3. Assemble the Loaf
Pour half the batter into a greased 9×5-inch loaf pan. Top with half of the apple mixture, then sprinkle with half the brown sugar and cinnamon. Repeat the layers and lightly swirl with a knife.
4. Bake
Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 50–60 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Let cool for 10 minutes in the pan before transferring to a wire rack.
5. Add the Glaze
Mix powdered sugar and milk to make a glaze. Drizzle over the slightly warm bread and let set before slicing.
