Prep Time: 20 minutes Cook Time: 60 minutes Total Time: 80 minutes

 

 

 

Ingredients

 

 

 

  • 1/3 cup light brown sugar
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 2/3 cup white sugar
  • 1/2 cup butter, softened
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 3/4 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 2 apples, peeled, cored, and chopped (preferably Granny Smith)
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 2-3 tbsp milk or cream

 

 

 

Directions

 

 

 

 

  1. Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Meanwhile, grease a 9×5 inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
  2. In a bowl, mix brown sugar and cinnamon. Set aside.
  3. In another larger bowl, combine white sugar and butter. Beat until smooth and creamy. Add in the eggs, one at a time, blending after each addition. Stir in vanilla extract.
  4. Combine the flour and baking powder together in a separate container. Add this to the butter mixture and mix well. Finally, pour in the milk and blend until the batter is smooth.
  5. Pour half of the batter into the prepared pan. Layer with half of the apples, followed by half of the brown sugar mixture. Repeat this layering with the remaining ingredients.
  6. Use a skewer or knife to swirl the apple mixture into the batter.
  7. Bake in the preheated oven for 60 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Allow the bread to cool on a wire rack for about 15 minutes before transferring from the pan.
  8. In a bowl, prepare the glaze by mixing powdered sugar and milk until smooth. Once the bread is cooled, drizzle the glaze over the top.

 

 

 

Notes

 

 

 

  • If you don’t have Granny Smith apples on hand, any tart apple variety will do.
  • Ensure your butter is softened for easier blending.
  • For a richer taste, you can substitute milk in the glaze with cream.

 

 

FAQ

 

 

  • Can I use whole wheat flour instead of all-purpose flour? Absolutely! Just keep in mind that whole wheat flour can make the bread denser.
  • How should I store the bread? Store it in an airtight container. It should last for up to 4 days at room temperature.
  • Can I add nuts to the recipe? Yes, walnuts or pecans would be a delightful crunchy addition.
