Instructions
Preheat oven
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan and set aside.
Mix dry ingredients
- In a large bowl, combine flour, baking powder, salt and cinnamon. Stir well.
Combine wet ingredients
- In another bowl, whisk melted butter, sugar, eggs, milk and vanilla until smooth.
Add wet to dry
- Pour wet mixture into dry ingredients. Stir gently until just combined. Do not overmix.
Fold in apples
- Add diced apples to the batter. Mix carefully to evenly distribute them without crushing.
Prepare cinnamon swirl
- In a small bowl, combine brown sugar and 1 teaspoon cinnamon.
Layer the batter
- Pour half of the batter into the loaf pan. Sprinkle half of cinnamon-sugar mixture. Add remaining batter. Top with remaining cinnamon-sugar.
Bake the bread
- Place pan in preheated oven. Bake for 50 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
Cool before slicing
- Allow bread to cool in pan for 10 minutes. Remove and cool completely on a wire rack.
Optional topping
- Dust with powdered sugar or drizzle glaze on top before serving.
Notes
- Use tart apples like Granny Smith for a balanced flavor.
- Mix half white sugar, half brown sugar for deeper sweetness.
- Add 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg for extra warmth.
- For a glaze, mix powdered sugar with 1–2 teaspoons milk.
- Avoid overbaking; bread should be moist and tender.
- Swap milk for buttermilk for a richer taste.
