Description
A delightful treat combining sweet apples and warm spices in a soft, cake-like bread, perfect for breakfast or snacks.
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon (for batter)
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- ⅓ cup vegetable oil
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 cups peeled and diced apples (such as Granny Smith)
- ¼ cup brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon (for the filling)
- 1 cup powdered sugar (for glaze)
- 1-2 tablespoons milk (for glaze)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan.
- In a bowl, mix the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and 1 teaspoon of cinnamon.
- In a separate large bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined.
- Fold in the diced apples until evenly distributed.
- In another small bowl, mix the brown sugar and 1 teaspoon of cinnamon for the filling.
- Pour half of the batter into the prepared loaf pan, then sprinkle half of the cinnamon-sugar mixture on top.
- Add the remaining batter and top with the rest of the cinnamon-sugar mix.
- Swirl the mixture lightly with a knife to create a marbled effect.
- Bake for 50-60 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar and milk until smooth. Drizzle the glaze over the cooled bread.
Notes
Store the bread in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. For longer storage, wrap it tightly in plastic wrap and refrigerate for up to a week or freeze for up to 3 months.
