Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup milk
  • 2 cups peeled, cored, and diced apples (about 2 medium apples)
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar (for glaze)
  • 1–2 tablespoons milk (for glaze)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a standard 9×5 inch loaf pan.
  2. In a small bowl, mix the 1 cup of granulated sugar and 1 teaspoon of cinnamon. Set aside for the swirl.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
  4. In a separate bowl, cream together the softened butter and the remaining 1 cup of granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  5. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then mix in the vanilla extract.
  6. Alternate adding the dry ingredients and the milk to the wet ingredients, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined; do not overmix.
  7. Gently fold in the diced apples.
  8. Pour half of the batter into the prepared loaf pan. Sprinkle half of the reserved cinnamon-sugar mixture evenly over the batter.
  9. Pour the remaining batter over the top. Sprinkle the remaining cinnamon-sugar mixture over the top layer of batter.
  10. Bake for 50 to 60 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  11. Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes before inverting it onto a wire rack to cool completely.
  12. While the bread cools, prepare the glaze: Whisk together the powdered sugar and 1 tablespoon of milk until smooth. Add more milk, a half teaspoon at a time, until you reach a drizzling consistency.
  13. Drizzle the vanilla glaze over the cooled bread before slicing and serving.

Notes

  • Use firm, slightly tart apples like Granny Smith for the best texture and flavor contrast.
  • For an extra moist result, ensure your butter and eggs are at room temperature before mixing.
  • If you prefer a stronger cinnamon flavor, add 1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon to the main batter mixture.
