Ingredients:
For the bread:
1/2 cup (115 g) unsalted butter, softened
2/3 cup (130 g) granulated sugar
2 large eggs
1 1/2 cups (190 g) all-purpose flour
1 3/4 tsp baking powder
1/2 cup (120 ml) milk
1 tsp vanilla extract
For the apple mixture:
2 medium apples, peeled and chopped
2 tbsp granulated sugar
1 tsp ground cinnamon
For the cinnamon-sugar swirl:
1/3 cup (65 g) brown sugar
1 tsp ground cinnamon
For the glaze (optional):
1/2 cup (60 g) powdered sugar
1–2 tbsp milk
Instructions:
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a loaf pan.
- Prepare the apple mixture:
In a small bowl, mix the chopped apples with 2 tbsp sugar and 1 tsp cinnamon. Set aside. - Make the batter:
In a large bowl, cream the butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each.
Mix in the vanilla.
In another bowl, whisk together flour and baking powder.
Add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture alternately with milk until combined.
- Layer the bread:
Pour half of the batter into the loaf pan.
Add half of the apple mixture and sprinkle with half of the cinnamon-sugar swirl.
Add the remaining batter on top, then the rest of the apples and cinnamon-sugar swirl.
Lightly swirl with a knife for a marbled effect.
- Bake:
Bake for about 50–60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. - Prepare glaze (optional):
Mix powdered sugar with milk until smooth, then drizzle over the cooled bread.
👉 The result is a soft, moist apple bread with cinnamon layers and sweet glaze on top.
