Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Wet Ingredients

  • 2 large eggs
  • ½ cup vegetable oil
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ½ cup milk

Filling and Topping

  • 2 apples, peeled, cored, and chopped into small pieces
  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar (for sprinkling)
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon (for sprinkling)

Glaze

  • ½ cup powdered sugar
  • 1 tablespoon milk
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan to prevent sticking.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon, ensuring they are well blended.
  3. Mix Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, vegetable oil, vanilla extract, and milk until smooth and combined.
  4. Combine Wet and Dry: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir together gently until just combined, avoiding overmixing for a tender bread.
  5. Add Apples: Fold in the chopped apples evenly throughout the batter to distribute the fruity bits.
  6. Layer Batter and Topping: Pour half of the batter into the prepared loaf pan. In a small bowl, mix the brown sugar and cinnamon for the topping. Sprinkle half of this cinnamon sugar mixture over the batter layer.
  7. Top with Remaining Batter and Topping: Add the remaining batter on top, then sprinkle the rest of the cinnamon sugar mixture over the upper batter layer.
  8. Swirl Topping: Use a knife or skewer to swirl the batter and cinnamon sugar topping together to create a marbled, apple fritter effect.
  9. Bake: Place the loaf pan in the oven and bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean or with only a few moist crumbs.
  10. Prepare Glaze: While the bread is cooling, whisk together powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract in a small bowl until smooth and pourable.
  11. Glaze and Serve: Once the bread has cooled completely, drizzle the glaze evenly over the top. Slice into 8-10 pieces and serve.

Notes

  • You can use any apple variety; Granny Smith gives tartness while Gala or Honeycrisp add sweetness.
  • The glaze is optional if you prefer less sweetness.
  • For a crunchier topping, add chopped pecans or walnuts with the cinnamon sugar.
  • To make it vegan, substitute eggs with flax eggs and use plant-based milk.
  • You can make mini loaves; adjust baking time to 30-40 minutes accordingly.
  • Store bread in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for up to a week.
  • Freeze wrapped tightly for up to 3 months; thaw before serving.
  • Reheat individual slices in microwave for 15-20 seconds or at 300°F (150°C) oven for 10 minutes.
  • Adding raisins along with apples is a delicious variation.
  • Butter can be used instead of vegetable oil for richer flavor.
  • For a thicker glaze, increase powdered sugar quantity.
