Bread Ingredients

  • 2 cups (240g) all-purpose flour, sifted for lightness
  • 1 tablespoon (12g) baking powder, to help it rise
  • 1/2 teaspoon (3g) salt, for balance
  • 1 teaspoon (2g) ground cinnamon, for that warm spice kick
  • 2/3 cup (133g) granulated sugar, for sweetness
  • 1/3 cup (75g) unsalted butter, softened to room temp
  • 2 large eggs, at room temperature for easier mixing
  • 1/2 cup (120ml) whole milk, for moisture
  • 1 teaspoon (5ml) vanilla extract, for depth of flavor
  • 2 medium apples, peeled, cored, and diced (about 2 cups)
  • 1/3 cup (67g) brown sugar, packed tight
  • 1 teaspoon (2g) ground cinnamon, for that fritter vibe

Glaze Ingredients

  • 1 cup (120g) powdered sugar, for a smooth finish
  • 2–3 tablespoons (30-45ml) milk, adjust for desired thickness
  • 1/2 teaspoon (2.5ml) vanilla extract, for a hint of sweetness

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan. Line it with parchment paper for easy lifting. Peel and dice the apples and set aside.
  2. Mix Dry and Wet Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon. In a larger bowl, beat the butter and granulated sugar until fluffy. Add eggs one at a time, then mix in the milk and vanilla extract. Scrape down the sides for even blending.
  3. Combine Batter and Apples: Slowly mix the dry ingredients into the wet until just combined. Pour half the batter into the prepared loaf pan, then sprinkle with half the diced apples mixed with brown sugar and cinnamon. Repeat by layering with the remaining batter and apple mixture.
  4. Bake the Bread: Bake for 50-60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
  5. Prepare and Add Glaze: Whisk together powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth. Drizzle the glaze over the cooled loaf. Slice and serve your delicious Amish Apple Bread.

Notes

  • Use tart apples like Granny Smith for a balanced sweet-tart flavor.
  • Ensure butter and eggs are at room temperature for better mixing.
  • Do not overmix the batter to keep the bread tender.
  • Adjust glaze thickness by adding more or less milk.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for up to a week.
