• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

• 2 apples, peeled, cored, and chopped
• 1 tablespoon brown sugar (for sprinkling)
• 1 teaspoon cinnamon (for sprinkling)
• 1/2 cup powdered sugar (for glaze)
• 1 tablespoon milk (for glaze)

Instructions

1. Step 1: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.

5. Step 5: Pour half of the batter into the prepared loaf pan. Sprinkle half of the brown sugar and 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon over the batter. Pour the remaining batter on top, then sprinkle the rest of the brown sugar and cinnamon evenly over the surface.
6. Step 6: Bake for 55–65 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Allow the bread to cool in the pan for about 15 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack.
7. Step 7: To make the glaze, whisk together the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth. Drizzle the glaze over the cooled bread before slicing.
