Instructions

1. Prepare for Baking

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9×5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.

2. Make the Apple Filling

In a small bowl, mix the diced apples with sugar and cinnamon. Set aside to let the flavors meld.

3. Whip Up the Batter

  1. In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
  2. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
  3. In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt.
  4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the milk. Mix until just combined.

4. Layer the Bread

  1. Spread half of the batter into the prepared loaf pan.
  2. Sprinkle half of the apple mixture over the batter.
  3. Add the remaining batter and smooth it out to cover the apples.
  4. Top with the rest of the apple mixture, pressing gently into the batter.

5. Bake and Cool

Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. If the top browns too quickly, cover it with aluminum foil halfway through baking. Cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

6. Add the Glaze

While the bread cools, prepare the glaze by whisking together powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth. Drizzle over the cooled bread and let it set before slicing.

Pro Tips for Success

  • Apple Choice Matters: Opt for firm apples like Granny Smith for tartness or Honeycrisp for a sweet touch.
  • Customize the Spice: Add a pinch of ground cloves or ginger for an extra kick.
  • Go Nutty: Stir in chopped walnuts or pecans for added texture.
  • Storage: Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to three days or refrigerate for up to a week. This bread also freezes well for up to three months.
