Ingredients

Scale

Apple Filling & Topping

  • 2 cups apples, peeled, cored, and chopped
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
  • 1/3 cup brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon (for topping)

Batter

  • 1/2 cup butter (1 stick), softened
  • 2/3 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 cup milk

Glaze

  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 tablespoon milk

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8.5 x 4.5 x 2.5-inch loaf pan with non-stick cooking spray to prevent sticking.
  2. Make Cinnamon Brown Sugar Mixture: In a small bowl, whisk together 1/3 cup brown sugar and 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon; set aside to use later as a topping.
  3. Cream Butter and Sugar: In a large mixing bowl, use an electric mixer to cream the softened butter and 2/3 cup granulated sugar together until the mixture becomes light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
  4. Add Eggs and Vanilla: Beat in the eggs one at a time, then add the vanilla extract. Mix just until combined, avoiding overbeating.
  5. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate small bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour and baking powder until well incorporated.
  6. Mix Batter: Gradually add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients and stir until just combined. Then add the milk and mix until the batter is smooth and uniform.
  7. Layer Batter and Apples: Pour half of the batter into the prepared loaf pan and spread evenly. In a small bowl, toss the chopped apples with 1 teaspoon cinnamon and 1 tablespoon granulated sugar to coat. Spread half of the apple mixture over the batter in the pan. Pour the remaining batter over the apples and spread evenly. Top with the remaining apples and press them down gently to embed in the batter.
  8. Add Cinnamon Sugar Topping: Evenly sprinkle the reserved cinnamon brown sugar mixture over the top of the bread batter and apples.
  9. Bake: Place the loaf pan in the preheated oven and bake for about 1 hour, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the bread comes out clean. Remove from oven and let the bread cool in the pan for approximately 30 minutes.
  10. Prepare Glaze and Serve: In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar and milk until smooth. Drizzle this glaze generously over the cooled bread. Slice and serve to enjoy the warm, sweet flavors.

Notes

  • Make sure apples are peeled and chopped evenly to ensure uniform cooking.
  • For extra flavor, you can substitute some of the milk with buttermilk.
  • This bread stores well at room temperature covered for 2-3 days or can be refrigerated to extend freshness.
  • Allow the bread to cool completely before glazing to prevent the glaze from melting and running off excessively.
  • You can add chopped nuts like walnuts or pecans to the apple filling for additional texture and flavor.
