Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 2 cups granulated sugar
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup milk
  • 2 large apples, peeled, cored, and diced
  • 1 cup cinnamon sugar mixture (for swirl)
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar (for glaze)
  • 2 tablespoons milk or water (for glaze)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two standard loaf pans.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the milk, beginning and ending with the dry mixture. Mix until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Gently fold in the diced apples.
  7. Prepare the cinnamon sugar swirl by mixing 1 cup of sugar with 2 tablespoons of ground cinnamon.
  8. Spoon half of the batter into the prepared loaf pans. Sprinkle half of the cinnamon sugar mixture evenly over the batter. Top with the remaining batter, and sprinkle the rest of the cinnamon sugar mixture on top. You can gently swirl it in with a knife if desired.
  9. Bake for 50 to 60 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  10. Let the loaves cool in the pans for 10 minutes before turning them out onto a wire rack to cool completely.
  11. Prepare the glaze by whisking the powdered sugar and 2 tablespoons of milk or water until smooth. Drizzle the glaze over the cooled bread before slicing and serving.

Notes

  • For the moistest bread, use slightly under-ripe apples like Granny Smith or Honeycrisp.
  • If you prefer a stronger cinnamon flavor, increase the cinnamon in the swirl mixture to 3 tablespoons.
  • This bread keeps well at room temperature, covered, for up to three days.
