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.
