Ingredients

• 1/2 cup Unsalted Butter
• 2/3 cup Granulated Sugar
• 2 large Eggs
• 1.5 tsp Vanilla Extract
• 1.5 cups All-Purpose Flour
• 1.75 tsp Baking Powder
• 1/2 cup Milk
• 2 medium Apples, diced
• 1/3 cup Brown Sugar
• 1 tsp Ground Cinnamon
• 1/2 cup Powdered Sugar
• 1-2 tbsp Milk (for glaze)
• 1/4 tsp Vanilla Extract (for glaze)

Instructions

1. Step 1: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line a 9×5-inch loaf pan.
2. Step 2: Toss the diced apples with brown sugar and cinnamon in a bowl until they’re well coated; set aside.
3. Step 3: In a large mixing bowl, cream the butter and granulated sugar together until fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
4. Step 4: In another bowl, whisk together the flour and baking powder. Alternate adding the dry mixture and milk into the butter mixture, mixing just until combined.
5. Step 5: Spoon half of the batter into the prepared loaf pan, then layer half the apple mixture on top. Add the remaining batter, followed by the rest of the apples. Use a knife to gently swirl the layers together.
6. Step 6: Bake for 50-55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Tent with foil if the top browns too quickly.
7. Step 7: Let the loaf cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack. Mix powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract to make the glaze, and drizzle it over the cooled loaf.

Tips & Variations

• For a dairy-free version, substitute regular milk and butter with plant-based alternatives.
• Add chopped nuts such as walnuts or pecans for extra crunch.
• Try mixing in a pinch of nutmeg for additional warmth and spice.

FAQs

Can I use frozen apples instead of fresh?

Fresh apples are best for texture, but if using frozen, thaw and drain excess moisture before mixing to prevent a soggy bread.

Can I make this bread ahead of time?

Yes, you can prepare the batter and apple mixture the day before and refrigerate overnight. Bake fresh the next day for best results.

Ingredients

Scale 1x2x3x

Bread:

• 1/2 cup Unsalted Butter
• 2/3 cup Granulated Sugar
• 2 large Eggs
• 1.5 tsp Vanilla Extract
• 1.5 cups All-Purpose Flour
• 1.75 tsp Baking Powder
• 1/2 cup Milk
• 2 medium Apples, diced
• 1/3 cup Brown Sugar
• 1 tsp Ground Cinnamon

Glaze:

• 1/2 cup Powdered Sugar
• 1–2 tbsp Milk
• 1/4 tsp Vanilla Extract

Instructions

1. Preheat Oven and Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line a 9×5-inch loaf pan to ensure the bread doesn’t stick and comes out easily.
2. Coat the Apples: In a medium bowl, toss the diced apples with brown sugar and ground cinnamon until evenly coated. Set this mixture aside to let the flavors meld.
3. Cream Butter and Sugar: In a large mixing bowl, cream the unsalted butter and granulated sugar together using a mixer until the mixture is light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes. This step helps create a tender crumb.
4. Add Eggs and Vanilla: Beat in the eggs one at a time into the creamed mixture, making sure each is fully incorporated before adding the next. Then mix in the vanilla extract for a lovely aroma and flavor depth.
5. Combine Dry Ingredients and Milk: In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour and baking powder. Gradually alternate adding this dry mixture and the milk into the butter mixture, mixing gently just until combined to avoid overworking the batter.
6. Layer Batter and Apples: Spoon half of the batter into the prepared loaf pan, spreading it evenly. Layer half of the apple mixture on top. Add the remaining batter, then finish with the rest of the apples. Use a knife to gently swirl the apples and batter together, creating a marbled effect.
7. Bake the Bread: Place the loaf pan in the preheated oven and bake for 50-55 minutes. Check doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center; it should come out clean. If the top starts to brown too fast, loosely tent the bread with aluminum foil to prevent burning.
8. Cool and Glaze: Allow the bread to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes to firm up. Transfer the loaf to a wire rack. In a small bowl, mix powdered sugar, milk (start with 1 tablespoon and add more if needed), and vanilla extract until smooth to make the glaze. Drizzle the glaze evenly over the cooled bread for a sweet finishing touch.

Notes

• For a dairy-free version, substitute the milk with any plant-based milk such as almond or oat milk.
• Ensure the butter is softened but not melted for easier creaming with sugar.
• Swirling the batter and apples gently prevents overmixing, keeping the bread tender.
• Store the bread in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or refrigerate for up to a week.
• Reheat slices in the microwave or toaster oven for a warm, freshly baked taste.
