Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 2 apples, peeled, cored, and chopped into small pieces
  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar (for topping)
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon (for topping)
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar (for glaze)
  • 1 tablespoon milk (for glaze)
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (for glaze)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together eggs, oil, vanilla extract, and milk.
  4. Mix wet ingredients into the dry ingredients until just combined.
  5. Fold in the chopped apples evenly.
  6. Pour half of the batter into the prepared loaf pan.
  7. In a small bowl, mix brown sugar and cinnamon for the topping.
  8. Sprinkle half the cinnamon-sugar mixture over the batter.
  9. Add the remaining batter, then top with the rest of the cinnamon-sugar mixture.
  10. Swirl gently with a knife or skewer to create a marbled effect.
  11. Bake for 50–60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  12. While the bread cools, whisk together powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract to make the glaze.
  13. Once the bread is fully cooled, drizzle the glaze over the top.

Notes

  • Use Granny Smith for tartness or Gala/Honeycrisp for sweetness.
  • Add chopped nuts or raisins for variation.
  • Omit the glaze for a less sweet version.
  • Use a gluten-free flour blend for a gluten-free alternative.
  • Substitute eggs with flax eggs for a vegan option.
