Ingredients

Scale

Bread

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 cups peeled and chopped apples

Cinnamon Swirl

  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon cinnamon

Glaze

  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 2 tablespoons milk
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a loaf pan generously to ensure the bread doesn’t stick after baking.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, ground cinnamon, and ground nutmeg until combined and well aerated.
  3. Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate large bowl, mix the granulated sugar, brown sugar, melted unsalted butter, eggs, and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and uniform.
  4. Combine Wet and Dry: Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet ingredients, stirring gently until just combined to avoid overmixing which can toughen the bread.
  5. Fold in Apples: Fold the peeled and chopped apples into the batter carefully to distribute them evenly without breaking them down.
  6. Prepare Cinnamon Swirl: In a small bowl, mix together the brown sugar and cinnamon that will be used for swirling in the bread.
  7. Layer Batter and Swirl: Pour half of the batter into the greased loaf pan, then evenly sprinkle half of the cinnamon-sugar mixture over the top. Add the remaining batter and then sprinkle the remaining cinnamon mixture on top. Using a knife, gently swirl the cinnamon sugar into the batter to create a marbled effect.
  8. Bake the Bread: Place the loaf pan in the preheated oven and bake for about 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, indicating it is fully cooked.
  9. Make the Glaze: While the bread cools, combine the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract in a small bowl, whisking until smooth and pourable.
  10. Glaze and Serve: Once the bread has cooled sufficiently, drizzle the vanilla glaze evenly over the top. Slice and serve to enjoy the warm spices and tender apples in every bite.

Notes

  • Ensure apples are peeled and chopped into small pieces for even distribution and tender texture.
  • Do not overmix the batter to keep the bread light and fluffy.
  • Use a toothpick to check doneness to avoid undercooking or overbaking.
  • The cinnamon swirl adds a lovely texture and flavor contrast; feel free to adjust sugar and cinnamon amounts to your taste.
  • Let the bread cool before glazing to prevent the glaze from melting and running off.
  • Store leftover bread in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for longer freshness.
