Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients:
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 3/4 teaspoons baking powder
- 2 teaspoons cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon for apples
Wet Ingredients:
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup (113 grams) butter, softened
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
Sugars and Fruits:
- 2/3 cup sugar
- 1/3 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 cup sugar for apples
- 2 apples, peeled and chopped (about 1 cup)
Instructions
- Prepare the oven at 350F (175C) and thoroughly coat a loaf pan with cooking spray or butter.
- Blend brown sugar and cinnamon in a compact dish, setting the aromatic mixture aside for later use.
- Whip softened butter and granulated sugar in a spacious mixing bowl until achieving a silky, uniform consistency. Incorporate eggs individually, then infuse vanilla extract.
- Sift flour and baking powder together in a separate container. Methodically fold dry ingredients into the butter mixture, interspersing with milk to maintain smooth texture.
- Gently tumble chopped apples with sugar and cinnamon, ensuring each fragment is evenly seasoned.
- Distribute half the batter into the prepared pan, strategically arranging apple pieces across the surface. Dust generously with cinnamon-sugar blend. Replicate the layering process with remaining batter and ingredients.
- Craft a marbled design by delicately navigating a toothpick or thin knife through the layers, creating intricate swirls.
- Position pan in preheated oven, baking for 50-60 minutes until a clean toothpick emerges from the center.
- Allow bread to completely cool before adorning with glaze. Whisk powdered sugar and milk until achieving a smooth, pourable consistency. Elegantly drizzle over the cooled loaf.
Notes
- Swap apples for various fruits like pears or peaches to create unique flavor variations and keep the bread exciting.
- Use gluten-free flour blend for a celiac-friendly version without compromising the bread’s delicate texture and taste.
- Reduce sugar content by using stevia or monk fruit sweetener for a lower-calorie alternative that maintains the recipe’s delicious essence.
- Add chopped nuts like pecans or walnuts for extra crunch and nutritional boost, giving the bread more depth and complexity.
