Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Wet Ingredients
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup milk
Fruit
- 2 apples, peeled, cored, and chopped
Topping
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar (for sprinkling)
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon (for sprinkling)
Glaze
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1 tablespoon milk
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat and Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan thoroughly to prevent sticking.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, salt, and ground cinnamon until well blended.
- Whisk Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, vegetable oil, vanilla extract, and milk until smooth and fully combined.
- Combine Wet and Dry: Pour the wet ingredient mixture into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
- Fold in Apples: Gently fold the peeled, cored, and chopped apples into the batter, ensuring even distribution.
- 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 mixture evenly over the batter in the pan.
- Add Remaining Batter and Topping: Spread the remaining batter over the cinnamon sugar layer. Sprinkle the remaining cinnamon sugar topping on top.
- Swirl for Marbling: Using a knife or skewer, gently swirl through the batter and topping to create a marbled effect without mixing fully.
- Bake the Bread: Bake in the preheated oven for 50 to 60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Prepare Glaze: While the bread is cooling, stir together the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract to create a smooth glaze.
- Glaze the Bread: Drizzle the glaze evenly over the cooled bread to add sweetness and shine.
- Serve and Enjoy: Slice the bread and enjoy it fresh as a delightful treat any time of day.
Notes
- For best results, use crisp apples like Granny Smith or Honeycrisp to maintain texture.
- Make sure the bread is completely cooled before adding the glaze to prevent it from melting and running off.
- You can substitute vegetable oil with melted butter for a richer flavor.
- This bread can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerated for up to a week.
- Reheat slices briefly in a toaster or microwave for a warm treat.
