Instructions

1. Preheat the Oven:
   • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan and line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
2. Prepare the Batter:
   • Whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt in a medium bowl.
   • In a large mixing bowl, combine the melted butter and sugar. Add the eggs, milk, and vanilla extract, mixing until smooth.
   • Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
   • Fold in the diced apples.
3. Make the Cinnamon Sugar Swirl:
   • In a small bowl, mix together the sugar and cinnamon.
4. Assemble the Bread:
   • Pour half of the batter into the prepared loaf pan.
   • Sprinkle half of the cinnamon sugar mixture over the batter.
   • Add the remaining batter on top and finish with the rest of the cinnamon sugar.
   • Use a butter knife to gently swirl the cinnamon sugar into the batter for a marbled effect.
5. Bake:
   • Bake for 50-60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes clean. 
   • Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
6. Make the Glaze (Optional):
   • In a small bowl, whisk together powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth. Drizzle the glaze over the cooled bread.
7. Serve:
   • Slice and serve your delicious apple bread! Its perfect on its own or paired with butter or cream cheese.

Notes

• Use firm apples like Honeycrisp, Granny Smith, or Fuji to balance sweetness and tartness.
• You can add 1/2 cup of chopped walnuts or pecans to the batter for extra texture.
• This bread freezes well. Wrap it tightly in plastic wrap and store it in a freezer bag for up to 3 months.
