Ingredients
  

For the Loaf
  • 0.5 cup unsalted butter Adds moisture and richness; can be swapped with vegetable oil for a lighter loaf.
  • 0.75 cup granulated sugar Provides sweetness and enhances browning; feel free to reduce for a less sweet version.
  • 2 large eggs Binds the mixture together for structure; beat until pale for an airy texture.
  • 1.5 tsp vanilla extract Enhances the flavor profile with warmth; no substitution needed.
  • 1.5 cups all-purpose flour Forms the base of this delicious loaf; whole wheat flour can be used for a healthier twist.
  • 1.75 tsp baking powder A crucial leavening agent that helps the loaf rise; ensure it's fresh for best results.
  • 0.5 cup milk Keeps the batter moist; almond milk is a great substitute for a dairy-free option.
  • 2 medium apples (Granny Smith or Honeycrisp) Adds moisture and flavor; choose according to your desired tartness or sweetness.
  • 0.33 cup brown sugar Introduces depth with a hint of molasses; coconut sugar is a decent alternative if desired.
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon Offers warm spice that pairs beautifully with apples; consider adding nutmeg for extra warmth.
For the Optional Glaze
  • 0.5 cup powdered sugar Adds sweetness and helps create a nice finish.
  • 1-2 tbsp milk Thins the glaze to drizzling consistency; use almond milk for a dairy-free option.

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x5 inch loaf pan.
  2. Cream together the butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, then mix in the eggs and vanilla extract.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and ground cinnamon.
  4. Gradually incorporate the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, alternating with the milk.
  5. Peel, core, and finely chop the apples, then fold them into the batter.
  6. Pour half of the batter into the greased loaf pan, sprinkle with brown sugar, and add the remaining batter.
  7. Bake for 50-60 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
  8. Cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack before glazing.
