Instructions

Prepare the Apple Filling

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9 × 5-inch loaf pan and line it with parchment paper.
  • In a bowl, combine the diced apples, brown sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Toss until the apples are evenly coated.

Prepare the Bread Batter

  • In a large bowl, cream the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  • Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
  • Stir in the vanilla extract.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt.
  • Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, alternating with the milk. Mix just until combined.

Assemble and Bake

  • Spread half of the batter into the prepared loaf pan.
  • Sprinkle half of the cinnamon sugar mixture over the batter.
  • Add half of the seasoned apples.
  • Spread the remaining batter on top, followed by the remaining apples and cinnamon sugar.
  • Gently swirl the layers with a knife to create a beautiful cinnamon-apple pattern.
  • Bake for 55–65 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
  • Allow the bread to cool in the pan for 15 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack.

Prepare the Glaze

  • Whisk together the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  • Drizzle the glaze over the completely cooled bread.
  • Let the glaze set slightly before slicing and serving.
