Ingredients

Units Scale
  • For the Bread:
    • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
    • 1 tsp baking powder
    • 1/2 tsp salt
    • 1/3 cup unsalted butter, melted
    • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
    • 1/4 cup brown sugar
    • 1 tsp vanilla extract
    • 2 large eggs
    • 1/2 cup milk
    • 2 medium apples, peeled and chopped
  • For the Cinnamon Swirl:
    • 1/3 cup granulated sugar
    • 1 tbsp ground cinnamon

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9×5-inch loaf pan.
  2. Prepare the cinnamon swirl: In a small bowl, mix the ⅓ cup of granulated sugar and 1 tablespoon of cinnamon. Set aside.
  3. Mix the dry ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
  4. Mix the wet ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the melted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar. Add in the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each. Stir in the vanilla extract and milk.
  5. Combine wet and dry ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix. Gently fold in the chopped apples.
  6. Layer the batter: Pour half of the batter into the prepared loaf pan. Sprinkle half of the cinnamon-sugar mixture over the batter. Add the remaining batter on top, followed by the rest of the cinnamon-sugar mixture. Use a knife to swirl the cinnamon mixture through the batter.
  7. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  8. Cool and serve: Allow the bread to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely. Slice and enjoy!

Notes

  • You can use any type of apple you prefer, but Granny Smith or Honeycrisp work best for their balance of sweetness and tartness.
  • Feel free to add a drizzle of vanilla glaze on top for extra sweetness.
