Ingredients
  

For the Batter
  • 1/3 cup Light Brown Sugar Adds sweetness and moisture; substitute with white sugar if necessary, but flavor may vary.
  • 1 teaspoon Cinnamon Provides a warm spice flavor; adjust amount to taste for more or less spice.
  • 2/3 cup White Sugar Main source of sweetness; can replace with coconut sugar for a unique flavor.
  • 1/2 cup Salted Butter Adds richness and tenderness to the bread; unsalted butter can also be used, just adjust salt elsewhere.
  • 2 Eggs Provides structure and stability; can substitute with flax eggs for a vegan option.
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons Vanilla Extract Enhances flavor profile; use pure vanilla extract for best flavor.
  • 1 1/2 cups All-Purpose Flour Forms the base structure; gluten-free flour blends can be used as a substitute.
  • 1 3/4 teaspoons Baking Powder Leavening agent that helps the bread rise; ensure it's fresh for effective results.
  • 1/2 cup Milk Adds moisture and helps combine ingredients; use almond milk or oat milk for dairy-free variants.
  • 2 Apples Provides tartness and moisture; Granny Smith or Honeycrisp recommended; firm apples are ideal.
For the Glaze
  • 1/2 cup Powdered Sugar Sweetens the glaze; sugar alternative may be used for lower calories.
  • 1 tablespoon Milk Thins the glaze to pourable consistency; substitutions can include plant-based milk alternatives.

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan using butter or non-stick spray.
  2. In a small bowl, combine 1/3 cup of light brown sugar with 1 teaspoon of cinnamon. Set this mixture aside.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, cream together 2/3 cup of white sugar and 1/2 cup of softened salted butter until light and fluffy (about 3-5 minutes).
  4. Add 2 eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition, then stir in 1 1/2 teaspoons of pure vanilla extract.
  5. In another bowl, whisk together 1 1/2 cups of all-purpose flour and 1 3/4 teaspoons of baking powder until well combined.
  6. Gradually add the flour mixture to the creamed butter mixture, alternating with 1/2 cup of milk, mixing just until combined.
  7. Pour half of the batter into the prepared loaf pan, add chopped apples and half of the cinnamon-sugar mixture, then spread remaining batter on top.
  8. Top with remaining apples and cinnamon-sugar mixture, then gently swirl layers together with a knife.
  9. Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  10. Prepare the glaze by whisking together 1/2 cup of powdered sugar and 1 tablespoon of milk until smooth.
  11. Remove the bread from the pan after 10 minutes and drizzle the glaze over the top.
