  • 0.5 cup unsalted butter, melted and cooled

  • 2 each large eggs room temperature
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract for the batter
  • 2.25 cup peeled, diced apples firm baking apples work best

Instructions

Preparation Steps

  • Heat oven to 350°F. Grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan and line with a parchment sling.
  • Stir brown sugar and 1½ tsp cinnamon together in a small bowl for the swirl.
  • Toss diced apples with lemon juice and set aside.
  • Whisk flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, salt, and 1 tsp cinnamon in a large bowl.
  • Whisk melted butter, milk, eggs, and 2 tsp vanilla in a separate bowl until smooth.
  • Pour wet ingredients into dry and stir just until combined; do not overmix.
  • Fold half the apples into the batter.
  • Spread half the batter in the pan. Scatter with half the remaining apples, then half the cinnamon-sugar. Repeat with remaining batter, apples, and cinnamon-sugar. Swirl gently with a knife.
  • Bake 50–60 minutes, until a toothpick comes out clean. Tent with foil if browning early.
  • Cool 15 minutes in the pan, then lift out to a rack and cool completely.
  • Whisk powdered sugar, 2½ tbsp milk, and ½ tsp vanilla. Drizzle over the cooled loaf and let set before slicing.

Notes

Try swapping in half the apples for chopped pears, or add 1/2 cup toasted pecans to the swirl for crunch. For storage, keep the glazed loaf covered at room temperature for up to 2 days or refrigerate up to 5 days; warm slices briefly before serving.
