Ingredients
  

For the Batter
  • 1/2 cup Unsalted Butter Adds richness and moisture; substitute with dairy-free butter for a dairy-free option.
  • 1 cup Granulated Sugar Sweetens the bread; consider reducing by 25% for a less sweet loaf.
  • 2 large Large Eggs Provides structure and moisture; using room temperature eggs ensures better blending.
  • 2 teaspoons Vanilla Extract Enhances flavor; opt for high-quality extract for the best taste.
  • 2 1/2 cups All-purpose Flour Main structural component; substitute with gluten-free flour for a gluten-free option.
  • 1 tablespoon Baking Powder Leavens the bread; always check for freshness to ensure proper rising.
  • 1 cup Milk Contributes moisture; can be replaced with almond or soy milk for non-dairy versions.
  • 2 cups Apples Offers primary flavor and texture; a mix of Honeycrisp and Granny Smith creates a delightful balance.
  • 1/2 cup Brown Sugar Intensifies sweetness and moisture; coconut sugar is a great alternative for a unique flavor.
  • 1 teaspoon Ground Cinnamon Key spice that complements the apples; adding nutmeg or allspice can deepen the flavor.
For the Glaze
  • 1 cup Powdered Sugar Forms the base of the glaze; can be omitted if you prefer a less sweet bread.
  • 2 tablespoons Milk for Glaze Adjusts the glaze consistency; add more or less to reach your desired thickness.
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract for Glaze Optional for flavor enhancement; use for a touch of sweetness.

  • whisk
  • parchment paper

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 9x5 inch loaf pan with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium bowl, toss together the diced apples with brown sugar and ground cinnamon. Set aside.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the unsalted butter and granulated sugar until fluffy. Beat in the eggs, followed by the vanilla extract. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour and baking powder, then gradually add the dry mix to the wet ingredients alternately with milk.
  4. Pour half of the batter into the lined loaf pan. Layer half of the apple mixture on top. Pour the remaining batter over the apples, followed by the rest of the apple mixture. Use a knife to swirl everything together.
  5. Bake for 50-55 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean with a few moist crumbs.
  6. Allow the bread to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. Whisk together the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract to create a glaze. Drizzle over the cooled bread.
