Ingredients

Scale

Bread

  • ½ cup Milk
  • ½ cup Brown sugar
  • 1 tsp Salt
  • 2 tsp Ground cinnamon
  • 1 ¾ tsp Baking powder
  • 2 Granny Smith apples, peeled, cored, and chopped
  • 1 ½ cup Flour
  • ⅔ cup Sugar
  • 1 ½ tsp Vanilla extract
  • 2 Large eggs
  • ½ cup Butter, softened

Glaze

  • 1 cup Powdered sugar
  • 3 tbsp Milk

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven and Prepare Pan: Set your oven to 350º Fahrenheit. Line a bread pan with parchment paper and spray it with nonstick cooking spray to ensure easy removal of the bread.
  2. Make Cinnamon Sugar Mix: In a small bowl, mix together ½ cup brown sugar and 1 teaspoon of cinnamon. Set aside this mixture to use as a swirl topping.
  3. Prepare Coated Apples: In a medium bowl, combine chopped Granny Smith apples with 2 tablespoons sugar and 1 teaspoon cinnamon. Stir until the apples are evenly coated and set aside to allow the flavors to meld.
  4. Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, beat together the softened butter and ⅔ cup sugar until the mixture is fluffy. Add the eggs and vanilla extract, continuing to beat until smooth and well combined.
  5. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt until evenly distributed.
  6. Build the Batter: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, beating gently until just combined to avoid overmixing. Stir in ½ cup milk until the batter reaches a uniform consistency.
  7. Layer Batter and Apples: Pour half of the batter into the prepared bread pan. Layer half of the cinnamon sugar coated apples over the batter, followed by half of the brown sugar and cinnamon mixture. Repeat with the remaining batter, apples, and cinnamon sugar mixture to build the layers.
  8. Bake the Bread: Place the bread pan in the oven and bake at 350ºF for about 1 hour, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, indicating the bread is fully cooked.
  9. Cool the Bread: Remove the bread from the oven and allow it to cool for 15 minutes in the pan. Then carefully lift it out using the parchment paper and let it cool completely on a wire rack before glazing.
  10. Make the Glaze: In a small bowl, mix the powdered sugar with 1 tablespoon of milk. Gradually add the remaining milk, 1 tablespoon at a time, until the glaze reaches your preferred drizzle consistency.
  11. Glaze and Serve: Drizzle the glaze evenly over the cooled bread. Slice and serve as a delicious breakfast treat or dessert.

Notes

  • Do not overmix the batter to keep the bread light and tender.
  • Use Granny Smith apples for their tartness that balances the sweetness.
  • The bread can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
  • For a dairy-free version, substitute milk and butter with plant-based alternatives.
  • The glaze consistency can be adjusted with more or less milk for thicker or thinner drizzling.
