Ingredients

Scale

  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 2/3 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan.

  7. Spread half the batter into the loaf pan.
  8. Layer with half of the apple mixture and half of the remaining cinnamon sugar.
  9. Repeat the layers with the remaining batter, apples, and cinnamon sugar, then swirl gently with a knife.
  10. Bake for 50 to 60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  11. Cool the bread in the pan for 15 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
  12. Whisk together the glaze ingredients and drizzle over the cooled loaf before slicing.

Notes

  • Use firm apples such as Honeycrisp or Granny Smith.
  • Measure flour correctly to keep the bread light and tender.
  • Do not overmix the batter.
  • If the top browns too quickly, loosely cover with foil during the final 15 minutes of baking.
  • Cool completely before adding the glaze.
  • Store at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for up to 1 week.
  • Freeze for up to 3 months.
