Equipment

  • 9x5-inch loaf pan (or three 3-inch paper loaf pans)
  • Stand mixer or electric hand mixer
  • Large mixing bowl
  • Medium-sized bowl
  • Parchment paper or nonstick cooking spray
  • Wire rack

Ingredients

For the Bread:

  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour 213g
  • 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder 6g
  • ¾ teaspoon salt 4.5g
  • ½ cup unsalted butter room temperature (113g)
  • cup granulated sugar 140g
  • cup light brown sugar packed (140g)
  • 2 large eggs 99g
  • ½ cup whole milk 113g
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract 10g
  • 1 medium tart apple peeled and diced (200g)

For the Cinnamon Mixture:

  • cup granulated sugar 73g
  • 1 ½ teaspoons ground cinnamon 4g

For the Glaze:

  • ½ cup powdered sugar 50g
  • 2 teaspoons whole milk 10g

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C). Spray a 9x5-inch loaf pan with nonstick cooking spray or line with parchment paper.
  • In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
  • In a medium-sized bowl, stir together ⅓ cup granulated sugar and 1 ½ teaspoons ground cinnamon. Set aside.
  • Peel and dice the apple into ½-inch cubes.
  • In the bowl of a stand mixer (or with an electric hand mixer), cream the butter until light and fluffy. Add granulated sugar, then brown sugar, mixing well after each addition. Scrape the sides of the bowl as needed.
  • Beat in eggs one at a time until the mixture is light and glossy.
  • Combine whole milk and vanilla. Add to the butter mixture, alternating with the flour mixture, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix just until combined.
  • Spread half of the batter into the prepared loaf pan. Sprinkle with half the cinnamon mixture and half the diced apples. Repeat with remaining batter, apples, and cinnamon mixture.
  • Bake in preheated oven for 50–60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center of the loaf comes out clean.
  • Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Remove from pan and transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
  • In a small bowl, whisk together powdered sugar and milk until smooth. Drizzle glaze over the cooled bread.

Notes

  • Use tart, crisp apples for the best flavor and texture.
  • Let the glaze set before slicing.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
