Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 2 cups peeled and finely chopped apples (like Granny Smith or Honeycrisp)
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon (for swirl)
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar (for glaze)
  • 2 tablespoons milk or water (for glaze)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9×5 inch loaf pan.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, and 1 teaspoon of cinnamon. Set aside.
  3. In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  4. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then mix in the vanilla extract.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the milk, mixing just until combined. Do not overmix.
  6. In a separate small bowl, toss the chopped apples with the brown sugar and the second teaspoon of cinnamon until coated.
  7. Gently fold the cinnamon-apple mixture into the batter.
  8. Pour half of the batter into the prepared loaf pan. Sprinkle half of any remaining cinnamon-sugar mixture over the batter, if desired for an extra swirl.
  9. Spoon the remaining batter over the top.
  10. Bake for 50 to 60 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  11. Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes before turning it out onto a wire rack to cool completely.
  12. While the bread cools, prepare the glaze: Whisk together the powdered sugar and 2 tablespoons of milk or water until smooth. Add more liquid, a teaspoon at a time, if the glaze is too thick.
  13. Drizzle the vanilla glaze over the cooled bread before slicing and serving.

Notes

  • Use firm, slightly tart apples for the best texture and flavor contrast against the sweet bread.
  • For a bakery-style look, sprinkle a little coarse sugar on top before baking.
  • This bread stays moist for several days when stored tightly wrapped at room temperature.
