Ingredients

Scale

Batter

  • 1/2 cup (113g) unsalted butter, softened
  • 2/3 cup (133g) granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups (190g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 3/4 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 cup (120ml) milk
  • 2 medium apples, peeled, cored & diced (mix of tart & sweet)

Topping

  • 1/3 cup (67g) brown sugar
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon (estimate based on typical apple fritter recipes)

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a standard 9×5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
  2. Cream Butter and Sugar: In a large mixing bowl, cream the softened unsalted butter with the granulated sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy. This will create a smooth base for the batter.
  3. Add Eggs and Vanilla: Beat in the eggs one at a time, ensuring each is fully incorporated. Then add the vanilla extract and mix well to combine all wet ingredients.
  4. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour and baking powder to evenly distribute the leavening agent.
  5. Mix Dry and Wet Ingredients: Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet batter alternately with the milk, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Stir gently until just combined to avoid overmixing, which can make the bread tough.
  6. Fold in Apples: Gently fold the peeled, cored, and diced apples into the batter. Make sure the fruit is evenly dispersed without breaking down the pieces too much.
  7. Prepare Cinnamon Sugar Topping: In a small bowl, mix the brown sugar with ground cinnamon until combined. This topping will add a sweet, spiced crunch to your bread.
  8. Assemble Bread: Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, spreading it evenly. Sprinkle the brown sugar and cinnamon mixture evenly over the top of the batter.
  9. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for about 55 to 65 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the bread comes out clean.
  10. Cool and Serve: Allow the bread to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely. Slice and enjoy at room temperature or slightly warmed.

Notes

  • You can use a mix of tart and sweet apples like Granny Smith and Fuji for the best flavor balance.
  • Make sure not to overmix the batter to keep the bread tender and light.
  • For extra texture, you can add chopped nuts such as walnuts or pecans into the batter.
  • This bread keeps well stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or can be frozen for longer storage.
  • Serve plain or with a light drizzle of icing or cream cheese glaze for added indulgence.
