  • Total Time: 1 hour 10 minutes
  • Yield: 8 servings

Ingredients

Brown Sugar Cinnamon Mixture

  • 1/2 Cup Brown Sugar (Packed)
  • 1 1/2 Tsp Cinnamon

Main Ingredients

  • 1 Large Apple (Fuji, Gala, or Granny Smith), peeled and chopped
  • 2/3 Cup Granulated White Sugar
  • 1/2 Cup Salted Butter (Softened)
  • 2 Eggs
  • 2 Tsp Vanilla Extract
  • 1 1/2 Cups All Purpose Flour
  • 1 1/2 Tsp Baking Powder
  • 1 Pinch Sea Salt
  • 1/2 Cup Milk

Instructions

  1. Prepare Cinnamon Sugar Mix: In a small bowl, combine the brown sugar and cinnamon. Stir to mix thoroughly and set aside for layering.
  2. Prep the Apples: Peel the apple and chop it into small bite-sized pieces. Place the chopped apple in a separate bowl and set aside.
  3. Cream Butter and Sugar: In a large mixing bowl, using a hand or stand mixer on low to medium speed, beat the softened butter and granulated white sugar until the mixture is grainy and chunky, which ensures good incorporation of the butter and sugar.
  4. Add Eggs and Vanilla: To the butter and sugar mixture, add the eggs and vanilla extract. Continue mixing on low to medium speed until the batter becomes smooth and slightly soupy with no large lumps.
  5. Mix Dry Ingredients and Milk: Sift together the flour, baking powder, and sea salt. Add these dry ingredients to the wet mixture and stir gently to combine. Pour in the milk and mix with a spoon until fully incorporated, forming a smooth batter.
  6. Layer Batter and Apples: Grease a 9×5 inch loaf pan. Pour half of the batter into the pan. Sprinkle half of the chopped apples evenly over the batter, followed by half of the cinnamon sugar mixture. Repeat the layers with the remaining batter, apples, and cinnamon sugar to create a marbled effect.
  7. Bake the Bread: Place the loaf pan on the center rack of the oven preheated to 350°F (175°C). Bake for 50 to 55 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, indicating the bread is fully cooked.
  8. Cool and Serve: Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then carefully remove it from the pan, slice, and serve warm. This bread is delightful on its own or with a pat of butter.

Notes

  • Use firm apples like Fuji, Gala, or Granny Smith for the best texture and flavor.
  • Ensure butter is fully softened for easy creaming with sugar.
  • You can substitute milk with almond or oat milk for a dairy-free option.
  • Check baking time after 50 minutes as oven temperatures can vary.
  • Store leftover bread in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or freeze slices for longer storage.
