Ingredients
  

For the Bread
  • 1/3 cup Light Brown Sugar Provides sweetness and a hint of caramel flavor; substituting with packed brown sugar offers a richer taste.
  • 1 teaspoon Cinnamon Adds warmth and spice; can be replaced with nutmeg for a different aromatic profile.
  • 2/3 cup White Sugar Sweetens the dough; adjust quantity to taste or use coconut sugar for a healthier alternative.
  • 1/2 cup Salted Butter Adds richness and softness to the bread; for a subtler flavor, unsalted butter can be used with a pinch of salt.
  • 2 whole Eggs Binds the ingredients and adds richness; for a vegan option, substitute with flax eggs.
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons Vanilla Extract Enhances flavor depth; almond extract can be swapped for a different flavor note.
  • 1 1/2 cups All-Purpose Flour Provides structure to the bread; use gluten-free flour for a gluten-free version.
  • 1 3/4 teaspoons Baking Powder Leavens the bread and helps it rise; ensure it’s fresh for the best results.
  • 1/2 cup Milk Adds moisture to the batter; almond milk is a great non-dairy alternative.
  • 2 whole Apples Peeled and chopped; popular choices are Granny Smith or Honeycrisp.
For the Glaze
  • 1/2 cup Powdered Sugar Sweetens and creates the glaze's texture; confectioners’ sugar substitute can also be used.
  • 1 tablespoon Milk Helps achieve the desired consistency for the glaze; non-dairy milk can replace it for a vegan option.

Equipment

  • 9x5-inch loaf pan
  • Mixing bowls
  • Hand mixer or stand mixer

Method
 

Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan with butter or cooking spray, then dust with flour.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine the light brown sugar and cinnamon, stirring well.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, beat together the white sugar and softened salted butter until creamy and pale.
  4. Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition, then stir in the vanilla extract.
  5. In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour and baking powder, then gradually add to the wet mix, alternating with milk.
  6. Pour half of the batter into the prepared loaf pan, followed by half of the apples and half of the cinnamon-sugar mixture.
  7. Spread the remaining batter on top, then add the rest of the apples and cinnamon-sugar mixture.
  8. Use a knife or skewer to gently swirl the batter for a marbled effect.
  9. Bake for 50-60 minutes until golden brown and a toothpick comes out clean.
  10. Cool the bread in the pan for about 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack. Prepare the glaze by mixing powdered sugar and milk until smooth.
