Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Wet Ingredients

  • 3/4 cup whole milk
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 large eggs

Filling

  • 2 cups diced apples

Glaze

  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 2 tablespoons milk

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a standard loaf pan thoroughly to prevent sticking.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and ground cinnamon, stirring them to blend evenly.
  3. Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the whole milk, melted unsalted butter, and eggs until fully combined and smooth.
  4. Bring Batter Together: Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and fold gently to combine, being careful not to overmix. Then fold in the diced apples evenly throughout the batter.
  5. Bake the Bread: Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top evenly. Bake in the preheated oven for 50 to 60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  6. Cool and Glaze: Allow the bread to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack. Meanwhile, whisk together powdered sugar and milk to create a smooth glaze. Once cooled, drizzle or spread the glaze over the top of the bread.

Notes

  • Use tart apples like Granny Smith for a nice balance of sweet and tangy flavors.
  • Make sure the apples are diced uniformly to ensure even baking.
  • For a richer bread, substitute whole milk with buttermilk.
  • Allow the bread to cool completely before glazing to avoid melting the glaze.
  • This bread stores well in an airtight container for up to 3 days and can be refrigerated for up to a week.
  • To freeze, wrap tightly and thaw at room temperature before serving.
