🕒 Total Time: 1 hr 5 min

🍏 Ingredients:

For the Apple Layer:

• 2 apples, peeled and diced (Honeycrisp or Granny Smith)
• 2 tbsp granulated sugar
• 1 tsp ground cinnamon

For the Bread Batter:

• 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened
• 2/3 cup granulated sugar
• 2 eggs
• 1 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
• 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 3/4 tsp baking powder
• 1/2 cup milk

For the Cinnamon Sugar Swirl:

• 1/3 cup brown sugar
• 1 tsp ground cinnamon

For the Glaze:

• 1/2 cup powdered sugar
• 1–2 tsp milk
• 1/4 tsp vanilla extract

👩‍🍳 Step-by-Step Instructions:

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×5″ loaf pan and line with parchment paper for easy removal.
2. Make the apple filling: In a small bowl, mix diced apples with 2 tbsp sugar and 1 tsp cinnamon. Set aside. 🍎
3. Prepare the cinnamon sugar: In another bowl, stir together brown sugar and 1 tsp cinnamon. This will give your loaf that iconic swirl!
4. Make the batter: Cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy (about 2 minutes). Add eggs one at a time, then stir in vanilla.
5. Add dry ingredients: Mix in flour and baking powder, then slowly add the milk. Stir until just combined—don’t overmix.
6. Assemble: Pour half the batter into the loaf pan. Top with half of the apple mixture and sprinkle half the cinnamon sugar. Repeat layers.
7. Swirl it: Use a knife to gently swirl the batter and filling together—just a few figure-8 motions. 🌀
8. Bake: Bake for 50–60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool in pan for 15 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack.
9. Glaze it: Mix glaze ingredients and drizzle over cooled loaf. Let it set before slicing… if you can wait! 😉

✅ Pro Tips:

• 🍏 Use tart apples like Granny Smith for the best flavor balance.
• 🍞 This loaf freezes beautifully—just wrap slices individually!
• 🧈 For an extra rich flavor, brown your butter before adding it to the batter.
