INGREDIENTS

• Cinnamon: 2 tsp, for cinnamon sugar
• Brown sugar: 1/3 cup, for cinnamon sugar
• Sugar: 2/3 cup
• Butter: 1/2 cup, softened
• Vanilla extract: 1 1/2 tsp
• Eggs: 2 large
• Baking powder: 1 3/4 tsp
• All-purpose flour: 1 1/2 cups
• Milk: 1/2 cup
• Cinnamon: 1 tsp, for apples
• Sugar: 1/4 cup, for apples
• Apples: 2, peeled and chopped (about 1 cup)

INSTRUCTIONS

Step 1:

Get your oven going at 350°F and grease your loaf pan.

Step 2:

Mix up the cinnamon and brown sugar in a small bowl for your spice mixture. Put it aside for now.

Step 3:

Beat butter and sugar in a big bowl until they're nice and fluffy. Add eggs one after another, then stir in the vanilla.

Step 4:

Mix the baking powder and flour in another bowl. Add this to your butter mixture bit by bit, pouring in some milk between additions.

Step 5:

Mix your diced apples with sugar and cinnamon in a separate bowl.

Step 6:

Pour half your batter into the pan. Add half the apple mixture on top and sprinkle with half the spice mixture. Do it all again with what's left.

Step 7:

Take a knife or toothpick and make swirly patterns through everything to create a marbled look.

Step 8:

Bake it for 50-60 minutes until a toothpick comes out clean when you poke the middle.

Step 9:

Let it cool down before making the glaze. Mix 1/2 cup powdered sugar with 2 tbsp milk and drizzle it all over.

Serving and Storage Tips

• Make sure the bread is totally cool before adding the glaze or it'll just soak right in.
• Keep your bread in something airtight at room temp for 3 days max, or stick it in the fridge for up to a week.

Helpful Notes

• For that pretty swirled look, don't overdo the toothpick swirling - just a few passes will do the trick.
• Try using brown sugar in your glaze instead of powdered sugar for a deeper taste.

Tips from Well-Known Chefs

• Chef's Tip: A little bit of maple syrup in your glaze will give it that amazing fall flavor.

FAQs

Can I use a different type of apple?

Sure thing, any apple works fine but Granny Smith or Honeycrisp give you that nice tangy contrast.

How do I prevent the bread from drying out?

Don't leave it in the oven too long, and if the top starts getting too brown, just cover it with foil for the last 10 minutes.

Can I freeze this bread?

Absolutely. Let it cool all the way down, wrap it up good in plastic, and pop it in a freezer bag. It'll stay good for about 3 months.
