Ingredients
Scale
- 1/3 cup (75 g) light brown sugar
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- 2 medium apples, peeled and diced (about 2 cups/250 g, Granny Smith or Honeycrisp)
- 2/3 cup (135 g) granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup (115 g) unsalted butter, softened
- 2 large eggs
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 cups (190 g) all-purpose flour
- 1 3/4 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 cup (120 ml) milk
- Glaze: 1/2 cup (60 g) powdered sugar, 1–2 tbsp milk (adjust for consistency)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9×5-inch loaf pan.
- In a small bowl, combine brown sugar and cinnamon. Toss half with the diced apples and set aside.
- Cream together granulated sugar and butter until light and fluffy. Beat in eggs one at a time, then add vanilla.
- Mix flour and baking powder in a separate bowl. Add to the wet mixture, alternating with milk, until just combined.
- Pour half the batter into the loaf pan. Sprinkle with half the cinnamon-apple mixture. Add remaining batter and top with the rest of the apples and cinnamon mixture. Swirl gently with a knife.
- Bake 50–60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
- Cool in pan 10 minutes, then transfer to wire rack. Whisk powdered sugar with milk to make glaze and drizzle over cooled loaf.
Notes
Use coconut oil or plant-based butter for dairy-free. Swap part of the flour for whole wheat for a heartier loaf. Try Fuji or Gala apples for sweeter flavor. Add nuts, make as muffins, or add nutmeg for extra spice.
