Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2/3 cup whole milk
  • 2 medium apples (Granny Smith or Honeycrisp), peeled and chopped
  • 1/3 cup light brown sugar
  • 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • For the Glaze: 1 cup powdered sugar and 2 tablespoons heavy cream or milk

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Prep the Oven and Pan – Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan generously with butter or non-stick cooking spray. You can also line it with parchment paper for easier removal.
  2. Step 2: Prepare the Apple Filling – In a small bowl, toss the chopped apples with the brown sugar and cinnamon. Stir until the apples are evenly coated and set them aside to let the juices start to release.
  3. Step 3: Cream the Butter and Sugar – In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter and granulated sugar together until the mixture is light and fluffy. This usually takes about 2 to 3 minutes with an electric mixer.
  4. Step 4: Add Wet Ingredients – Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract until fully incorporated.
  5. Step 5: Mix in Dry Ingredients – Whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, alternating with the milk. Start and end with the flour mixture, mixing just until combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Step 6: Layer the Batter and Apples – Pour half of the batter into the prepared loaf pan. Spread half of the apple mixture over the batter. Pour the remaining batter on top, followed by the rest of the apples. Use a knife to gently swirl the apples into the batter.
  7. Step 7: Bake to Perfection – Place the pan in the oven and bake for 55 to 65 minutes. The bread is done when a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let it cool in the pan for 15 minutes.
  8. Step 8: Glaze and Serve – Whisk the powdered sugar and cream together until smooth. Drizzle the glaze over the warm bread. Allow the glaze to set before slicing and serving.
