Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Wet Ingredients

  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup milk

Fruit

  • 2 apples, peeled, cored, and chopped

Topping

  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon

Glaze

  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 tablespoon milk
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat and prepare pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan thoroughly to prevent sticking.
  2. Mix dry ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, salt, and ground cinnamon ensuring even distribution of leavening and spices.
  3. Combine wet ingredients: In a separate bowl, beat the eggs, then add vegetable oil, vanilla extract, and milk, mixing until well incorporated.
  4. Combine wet and dry: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Avoid overmixing to keep the bread tender.
  5. Add apples: Fold the peeled, cored, and chopped apples into the batter evenly, ensuring the fruit is well distributed.
  6. Layer batter and topping: Pour half of the batter into the prepared loaf pan, spreading it evenly. In a small bowl, mix the brown sugar and cinnamon for the topping. Sprinkle half of this cinnamon sugar mixture evenly over the batter.
  7. Add remaining batter and topping: Pour the remaining batter over the cinnamon sugar layer and top it with the remaining cinnamon sugar mixture.
  8. Swirl topping: Use a knife or a skewer to gently swirl the cinnamon sugar into the batter creating a marbled effect without mixing it completely.
  9. Bake the bread: Place the loaf pan in the preheated oven and bake for 50 to 60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  10. Prepare glaze: While the bread cools, whisk together the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract in a small bowl until smooth and pourable.
  11. Glaze the bread: Once the bread has cooled slightly, drizzle the glaze evenly over the top to add a sweet finishing touch.
  12. Serve: Slice the bread and enjoy it fresh at breakfast, brunch, or as a comforting snack with your favorite beverage.

Notes

  • For extra moist bread, use apples like Fuji or Gala that hold moisture well.
  • Peeling apples is recommended to avoid chewy skin in the bread, but you can leave skins on if preferred.
  • Ensure apples are chopped small enough to distribute evenly and prevent large pieces from sinking.
  • The glaze can be adjusted in consistency by adding more milk for a thinner glaze or more powdered sugar for a thicker glaze.
  • Store leftover bread wrapped tightly at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for up to a week.
  • This bread can also be frozen for up to 3 months; thaw at room temperature before glazing.
