Ingredients

  • All-purpose flour
  • Granulated sugar
  • Baking powder
  • Ground cinnamon
  • Salt
  • Milk (dairy or non-dairy)
  • Vegetable oil or melted butter
  • Eggs
  • Vanilla extract
  • Apples (peeled, cored, and diced)
  • Brown sugar
  • Powdered sugar (for icing)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan.
  2. Whisk together flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt in a large bowl.
  3. In another bowl, beat eggs with milk, oil (or butter), and vanilla until smooth.
  4. Stir the wet ingredients into the dry just until mostly combined—small lumps are fine.
  5. Gently fold in the diced apples.
  6. Pour half of the batter into the pan.
  7. Mix brown sugar with extra cinnamon, then sprinkle half over the batter.
  8. Pour in the remaining batter and top with the remaining cinnamon sugar mixture.
  9. Run a knife through the batter a couple of times for swirl effect.
  10. Bake for 50–60 minutes, until the top is golden and a skewer inserted in the center comes out with moist crumbs.
  11. Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack.
  12. Once cooled slightly, whisk powdered sugar with a bit of milk or cream, then drizzle glaze across the top.

Notes

  • Yields about 10–12 slices.
  • Prep time is approximately 15 minutes, with bake time of 50–60 minutes, making a total time of roughly 1 hour and 15 minutes.
  • Store the chilled, glazed bread in an airtight container for up to 3 days, or freeze individual slices for up to 2 months.
  • Reheat slices in a toaster oven at 325°F for 5 minutes or microwave briefly to warm the bread without melting the icing completely.
