Ingredients

Scale

For the Bread Batter

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 2 cups peeled and chopped apples

For the Topping

  • 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a loaf pan to ensure easy removal of the baked bread.
  2. Cream Butter and Sugar: In a mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until the mixture is smooth and fluffy. This step incorporates air for a tender crumb.
  3. Add Eggs and Vanilla: Mix in the eggs one at a time, then add the vanilla extract, beating until fully combined to create a smooth batter.
  4. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt to evenly distribute the leavening agents.
  5. Mix Wet and Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, alternating with the milk. Begin and end with the dry ingredients, stirring until the batter is smooth and homogenous.
  6. Fold in Apples: Gently fold the peeled and chopped apples into the batter, being careful to distribute them evenly without overmixing.
  7. Prepare Topping: In a small bowl, combine the ground cinnamon and brown sugar for the topping.
  8. Assemble and Bake: Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, then sprinkle the cinnamon sugar mixture evenly over the top. Place in the preheated oven and bake for 60–65 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. If the bread’s top browns too quickly, cover it loosely with foil and continue baking.
  9. Cool and Serve: Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then, transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing and serving.

Notes

  • Use tart apples like Granny Smith for a nice balance of sweetness and tartness.
  • If you prefer a sweeter bread, sprinkle additional cinnamon sugar topping halfway through baking.
  • Make sure apples are peeled and chopped into small pieces to ensure even distribution.
  • Store leftover bread tightly wrapped at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for up to a week.
  • For an extra crunch, add chopped nuts like walnuts or pecans to the batter.
