Scale
For the Crust:
- 2 large apples, peeled and chopped (about 2 cups)
- 1/3 cup brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 2/3 cup white sugar
- 1/2 cup butter, softened
- 2 eggs
- 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 3/4 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1–2 tablespoons milk or cream
Instructions
1. Prepare the Crust:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease and flour a 9×5 inch loaf pan.
- In a small bowl, mix brown sugar and cinnamon together. Set aside.
- In another bowl, beat white sugar and butter together until smooth. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in vanilla.
- Combine flour and baking powder; add to butter mixture and stir until blended. Mix in milk until smooth.
- Pour half the batter into the prepared loaf pan. Top with half the chopped apples and half the brown sugar cinnamon mixture. Lightly pat apple mixture into batter.
- Pour the remaining batter over apple layer; top with remaining apples and brown sugar cinnamon mixture. Lightly pat apples into batter.
- Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let cool in pan for 15 minutes before removing to a wire rack to cool completely.
- For the glaze, mix powdered sugar and milk together until smooth. Drizzle over cooled bread.
Notes
You can use any type of apple you like for this bread. I prefer Granny Smith or Honeycrisp. If you want a stronger cinnamon flavor, you can increase the cinnamon to 1 1/2 teaspoons. Store leftovers covered at room temperature for up to 3 days.
