Ingredients:
For the Bread:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup milk
- 2 cups peeled and diced apples
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/3 cup brown sugar
For the Glaze:
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 2-3 tablespoons milk
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions:
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
- Prepare Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
- Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, cream together the butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Add the eggs, one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract.
- Combine: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with milk, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
- Add Apples and Cinnamon Sugar: Fold in the diced apples. In a small bowl, mix the cinnamon and brown sugar. Swirl this mixture into the batter for a marbled effect.
- Bake: Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan. Bake for 50-60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Allow the bread to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
- Prepare the Glaze: In a small bowl, whisk together powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla until smooth. Adjust the milk for the desired consistency.
- Glaze the Bread: Drizzle the glaze over the cooled bread. Let it set before slicing and serving.
