Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 2 cups peeled, cored, and diced apples (such as Granny Smith or Honeycrisp)
  • 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon (for swirl)
  • 1/4 cup milk (for glaze)
  • 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar (for glaze)
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (for glaze)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F. Grease and flour a standard 9×5 inch loaf pan.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, 1 teaspoon cinnamon, and salt. Set aside.
  3. In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then mix in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
  4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the 1/2 cup milk, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix the batter.
  5. In a separate small bowl, toss the diced apples with the brown sugar and 1 teaspoon cinnamon until coated.
  6. Gently fold the cinnamon-apple mixture into the batter.
  7. Pour half of the batter into the prepared loaf pan. Sprinkle half of any remaining cinnamon-sugar mixture over the batter. Pour the remaining batter on top, and sprinkle with the rest of the cinnamon-sugar mixture.
  8. Bake for 55 to 65 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean. If the top browns too quickly, loosely tent it with foil.
  9. Let the bread cool in the pan for 15 minutes before carefully turning it out onto a wire rack to cool completely.
  10. Prepare the glaze: Whisk together the powdered sugar, 1/4 cup milk, and 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract until smooth. Adjust milk for desired consistency.
  11. Drizzle the vanilla glaze over the cooled bread loaf. Allow the glaze to set before slicing and serving.

Notes

  • For the moistest results, use slightly tart apples like Granny Smith.
  • You can substitute the vanilla glaze with a simple cinnamon glaze by using 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon in the glaze mixture.
  • This bread is excellent for breakfast, brunch, or as a sweet afternoon treat with coffee.
