Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 2 apples
- 1 ½ cups plain flour
- ½ cup softened unsalted butter
- 2 large eggs
Sweeteners and Sugars:
- ⅔ cup white sugar
- 2 tablespoons white sugar (to toss apples)
- ⅓ cup light brown sugar
- ½ cup icing sugar
Liquids and Spices:
- ½ cup milk or almond milk
- 2 teaspoons cinnamon
- 1 ½ teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 ¾ teaspoons baking powder
- Salt to taste
- Spray to grease the loaf pan
- Few tablespoons milk to drizzle
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F and coat a 9×5-inch loaf pan with nonstick cooking spray thoroughly.
- Combine 2 teaspoons of cinnamon with ⅓ cup light brown sugar in a small dish. Toss 2 diced apples with 2 tablespoons white sugar separately.
- Cream ½ cup softened butter with ⅔ cup white sugar until the mixture becomes airy and pale. Incorporate 2 large eggs one at a time, blending completely after each addition.
- Stir 1 ½ teaspoons vanilla extract into the butter mixture until fully integrated.
- Whisk 1 ½ cups flour with 1 ¾ teaspoons baking powder and a small pinch of salt in a separate bowl.
- Alternate adding the flour mixture and ½ cup milk to the butter blend, starting and ending with dry ingredients. Mix gently until just combined.
- Transfer half the batter into the prepared pan. Sprinkle half the cinnamon-sugar mixture and scatter half the apple pieces across the surface.
- Layer the remaining batter over the first layer. Top with remaining cinnamon-sugar and apple pieces.
- Bake at 350°F for 55-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Notes
- Check apple freshness by selecting firm, crisp fruits without bruises or soft spots for the best flavor and texture.
- Slice apples uniformly thin to ensure even distribution and consistent cooking throughout the bread.
- Avoid overmixing the batter to keep the bread tender and prevent developing tough gluten strands.
- For a gluten-free version, swap regular flour with a cup-for-cup gluten-free blend and verify your baking powder is gluten-free.
