Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients

1 ½ cups granulated sugar
2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp ground cinnamon
½ cup unsalted butter melted
2 large eggs
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 cup milk
2 cups peeled and diced apples Granny Smith or Honeycrisp work best
1 ½ tsp cinnamon for the apple mixture
¼ cup brown sugar for the apple mixture
Optional glaze: 1 cup powdered sugar 2 tbsp milk, ½ tsp vanilla extract

Equipment

Mixing Bowls (for wet and dry ingredients)
Loaf Pan (9x5 inches)
Measuring cups and spoons
Whisk (for dry ingredients)
Spoon or spatula for mixing
Oven (preheated to 350°F)
Cooling Rack (to let the bread cool properly)

Method

Prepare the apples: In a small bowl, toss the diced apples with the 1 ½ tsp cinnamon and brown sugar. Set aside.
Preheat oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan.
Make the batter: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and cinnamon. In a separate bowl, whisk the melted butter, eggs, vanilla, and milk. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix until just combined.
Layer the bread: Pour half of the batter into the prepared loaf pan. Spread half of the apple mixture on top of the batter. Repeat with the remaining batter and apples.
Bake: Bake for 50-60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Cool: Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Optional glaze: In a small bowl, whisk together powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla. Drizzle over the cooled bread for an extra sweet finish.

Notes

Apple Variety: Granny Smith apples are tart and work well with the sweetness of the bread, but you can use any firm apple variety.
Storage: Keep the bread in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. For longer storage, wrap slices in plastic wrap and freeze for up to 3 months.
Add-ins: For a crunchy twist, you can add walnuts or pecans to the batter or sprinkle them on top before baking.
Glaze: If you prefer a less sweet version, you can skip the glaze, and the bread will still be delicious!
