Ingredients
Scale
Batter Ingredients
- 1/2 cup Unsalted Butter
- 2/3 cup Granulated Sugar
- 2 large Eggs
- 1.5 tsp Vanilla Extract
- 1.5 cups All-Purpose Flour
- 1.75 tsp Baking Powder
- 1/2 cup Milk
Apple Mixture
- 2 medium Apples, diced
- 1/3 cup Brown Sugar
- 1 tsp Ground Cinnamon
Glaze
- 1/2 cup Powdered Sugar
- 1–2 tbsp Milk
- 1/4 tsp Vanilla Extract
Instructions
- Preheat and Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line a 9×5-inch loaf pan to prevent sticking.
- Prepare Apple Mixture: Toss the diced apples with brown sugar and ground cinnamon in a bowl until the apples are evenly coated. Set aside to allow the flavors to meld.
- Cream Butter and Sugar: In a large mixing bowl, cream together the unsalted butter and granulated sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy, ensuring a tender crumb for the bread.
- Add Eggs and Vanilla: Beat in the eggs one at a time to the creamed mixture, then stir in the vanilla extract to enhance the flavor.
- Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour and baking powder to evenly distribute the leavening agent.
- Mix Batter: Alternate adding the dry flour mixture and the milk to the butter mixture, mixing until just combined to avoid overworking the batter.
- Assemble the Bread: Spoon half of the batter into the prepared loaf pan. Layer half of the apple mixture over the batter, then add the remaining batter, followed by the rest of the apples. Use a knife to gently swirl the ingredients, creating a marbled effect.
- Bake: Place the loaf pan in the preheated oven and bake for 50-55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. If the top browns too quickly, tent the loaf with foil to prevent burning.
- Cool and Glaze: Allow the bread to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack. Mix the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract to create the glaze, then drizzle it over the cooled loaf for a classic finish.
Notes
- Use tart apples like Granny Smith or Honeycrisp for a balanced sweet-tart flavor.
- Ensure not to overmix the batter to keep the bread tender.
- If you prefer a dairy-free version, substitute the milk with plant-based milk and use a dairy-free butter alternative.
- Store the bread in an airtight container for up to 3 days; it can also be frozen for longer storage.
- The glaze can be adjusted for consistency by varying the amount of milk.
