Ingredients

Scale

Batter Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 2 apples, peeled, cored, and chopped

Topping

  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground 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). Grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan to prevent sticking.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, salt, and ground cinnamon. Stir until evenly blended.
  3. Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, vegetable oil, vanilla extract, and milk until smooth.
  4. Combine Wet and Dry: Pour the wet ingredient mixture into the dry ingredients bowl. Stir gently until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
  5. Add Apples: Fold in the peeled, cored, and chopped apples evenly throughout the batter.
  6. Layer Batter and Topping: Pour half of the batter into the prepared loaf pan. In a small bowl, mix together the brown sugar and ground cinnamon for the topping. Sprinkle half of this cinnamon sugar evenly over the batter layer.
  7. Add Remaining Batter and Topping: Pour the remaining batter over the cinnamon sugar layer. Sprinkle the rest of the cinnamon sugar mixture on top.
  8. Create Swirl Effect: Use a knife or skewer to gently swirl the batter and cinnamon sugar layers, creating a marbled effect.
  9. Bake: Place the loaf pan in the preheated oven and bake for 50-60 minutes. Check doneness by inserting a toothpick in the center; if it comes out clean, the bread is done.
  10. Make Glaze: While the bread cools, mix together the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth to prepare the glaze.
  11. Glaze and Serve: Once the bread is fully cooled, drizzle the glaze evenly over the top. Slice and enjoy!

Notes

  • Make sure apples are peeled and chopped uniformly for even baking.
  • If you like a stronger cinnamon flavor, you can increase the cinnamon in both the batter and topping slightly.
  • Allow the bread to cool completely before glazing to prevent the glaze from melting off.
  • Store leftovers wrapped tightly at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for up to a week.
  • This bread can be frozen; wrap tightly and thaw before glazing.
