Description
A moist, spiced quick bread swirled with cinnamon-sugar apple chunks and topped with a sweet glaze, reminiscent of classic apple fritters.
Ingredients
Scale
For the Crust:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 2/3 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup milk
- 2 medium apples, peeled and diced
- 1/3 cup brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons milk or apple cider
Instructions
1. Prepare the Crust:
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×5 inch loaf pan.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt. In a large bowl, cream butter and granulated sugar until light. Beat in eggs one at a time, then vanilla. Alternately add flour mixture and milk, mixing just until combined.
- In a small bowl, toss diced apples with brown sugar and cinnamon. Fold half the apple mixture into the batter. Pour half the batter into the prepared pan. Sprinkle with remaining apples, then top with remaining batter.
- Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean. Cool in pan 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack.
- Whisk powdered sugar and milk (or cider) until smooth to make glaze. Drizzle over cooled bread before slicing.
