Ingredients

Scale

Bread Batter

  • 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

Sprinkle 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 Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease or line a loaf pan with parchment paper for easy removal.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, salt, and ground cinnamon until evenly combined, ensuring no lumps remain.
  3. Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, beat the eggs lightly, then add the vegetable oil, vanilla extract, and milk, mixing until smooth and uniform.
  4. Incorporate Wet and Dry Ingredients: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently just until combined; do not overmix to keep the bread tender.
  5. Add Apples: Fold in the peeled, cored, and chopped apples carefully, distributing them evenly throughout the batter.
  6. Prepare Sprinkle Topping: In a small bowl, mix together the brown sugar and cinnamon for the topping.
  7. Fill and Top Loaf Pan: Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top, then evenly sprinkle the cinnamon-brown sugar mixture over the batter surface.
  8. Bake: Place the loaf pan in the preheated oven and bake for about 60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean and the top is golden brown.
  9. Cool the Bread: Remove the pan from the oven and allow the bread to cool in the pan for about 15 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before glazing.
  10. Prepare Glaze: In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth and drizzly.
  11. Glaze the Bread: Once the bread is completely cooled, drizzle the vanilla glaze over the top evenly, allowing it to set before slicing and serving.

Notes

  • If you prefer a sweeter glaze, add a bit more powdered sugar to the glaze mixture.
  • Feel free to substitute the apples with pears or add chopped nuts for extra texture.
  • Store the bread wrapped tightly at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for up to a week.
  • For gluten-free option, use a gluten-free all-purpose flour blend instead of regular flour.
  • Ensure apples are chopped small enough to distribute evenly and avoid sinking.
