Ingredients
- 1/2 cup Unsalted Butter
- 2/3 cup Granulated Sugar
- 2 large Eggs
- 1.5 tsp Vanilla Extract
- 1.5 cups All-Purpose Flour
- 1.75 tsp Baking Powder
- 1/2 cup Milk
- 2 medium Apples, diced
- 1/3 cup Brown Sugar
- 1 tsp Ground Cinnamon
- 1/2 cup Powdered Sugar
- 1-2 tbsp Milk (for glaze)
- 1/4 tsp Vanilla Extract (for glaze)
Instructions
- Step 1: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease and line a 9×5-inch loaf pan.
- Step 2: Toss the diced apples with brown sugar and cinnamon in a bowl until well coated; set aside.
- Step 3: In a large bowl, cream the butter and granulated sugar until fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract.
- Step 4: In another bowl, whisk together flour and baking powder. Alternate adding the dry mixture and milk to the butter mixture, mixing until just combined.
- Step 5: Spoon half the batter into the loaf pan, then layer half the apple mixture. Add remaining batter and top with the rest of the apples. Use a knife to gently swirl the layers together.
- Step 6: Bake for 50-55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Tent with foil if the top browns too quickly.
- Step 7: Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack. Mix powdered sugar with milk and vanilla extract to make the glaze, and drizzle it over the cooled loaf.

Ingredients
Batter and Dry Ingredients
- 1/2 cup Unsalted Butter
- 2/3 cup Granulated Sugar
- 2 large Eggs
- 1.5 tsp Vanilla Extract
- 1.5 cups All-Purpose Flour
- 1.75 tsp Baking Powder
- 1/2 cup Milk
Apple Mixture
- 2 medium Apples, diced
- 1/3 cup Brown Sugar
- 1 tsp Ground Cinnamon
Glaze
- 1/2 cup Powdered Sugar
- 1–2 tbsp Milk
- 1/4 tsp Vanilla Extract
Instructions
- Preheat and Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line a 9×5-inch loaf pan to prevent sticking and ensure easy removal.
- Prepare Apple Mixture: Toss the diced apples with brown sugar and cinnamon in a bowl until evenly coated. Set aside to allow the flavors to meld.
- Cream Butter and Sugar: In a large mixing bowl, cream the unsalted butter and granulated sugar together until the mixture is fluffy, which helps create a tender crumb.
- Add Eggs and Vanilla: Beat in the eggs one at a time to fully incorporate, then add vanilla extract for flavor enhancement.
- Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour and baking powder to evenly distribute the leavening agent.
- Mix Batter: Alternately add the dry flour mixture and milk to the butter mixture, beginning and ending with the flour, mixing just until combined to keep the batter tender and avoid overmixing.
- Layer Batter and Apples: Spoon half of the batter into the prepared loaf pan, layer half the apple mixture over it, then add the remaining batter followed by the rest of the apple mixture. Use a knife to gently swirl the layers together for a marbled effect.
- Bake: Place the loaf pan in the preheated oven and bake for 50-55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. If the top starts browning too fast, tent it with foil to prevent over-browning.
- Cool: Remove the loaf from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before glazing.
- Prepare and Drizzle Glaze: Mix powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract in a small bowl until smooth to create a glaze. Drizzle the glaze over the cooled bread evenly, allowing it to set before slicing and serving.
Notes
- For a dairy-free version, substitute regular milk with plant-based milk of choice.
- Ensure not to overmix the batter to maintain a moist and tender crumb.
- Use tart apples like Granny Smith for a nice balance of sweetness and tartness.
- Store leftover bread in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for up to a week.
- The glaze can be adjusted in thickness by adding more powdered sugar or milk as needed.
