Time to Cook

Prep: 15 minutes | Cook: 50 minutes | Total: 1 hour 5 minutes | Difficulty: Easy | Make-Ahead: You can prepare the batter a day in advance.

Steps to Make It

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F. The warmth will help your bread rise beautifully.
  2. In a large bowl, mix together flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon. Smell that sweet cinnamon aroma as you combine the dry ingredients.
  3. In another bowl, whisk the eggs, milk, and melted butter until well blended. The mixture should look smooth and creamy.
  4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined. Don’t overmix; a few lumps are okay!
  5. Gently fold in the diced apples. Make sure they’re evenly distributed, so every bite is filled with delicious spiced apples.
  6. Pour the batter into a greased loaf pan. Spread it out evenly and give it a little shake to settle.
  7. Bake for 50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. The bread should be golden brown and smell heavenly.
  8. While the bread cools, prepare the cinnamon glaze. Mix powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and water until smooth. It should be pourable but not too runny.
  9. Drizzle the glaze over the cooled bread. Let it set for a few minutes before slicing.
  10. Serve warm and enjoy with family and friends!

Make It Perfect

  • Use a toothpick to check for doneness; it should come out clean.
  • Let the bread cool for at least 10 minutes before glazing to prevent it from melting away.
  • Feel free to add nuts or raisins for extra texture.
  • Store any leftovers in an airtight container to keep it fresh.
  • This bread freezes well; wrap it tightly for up to 3 months.

Mix It Up

  • Add a pinch of nutmeg for an extra layer of flavor.
  • Try using different fruits like pears or peaches.
  • Mix in some chopped walnuts or pecans for a crunchy twist.

Perfect Partners

  • Serve with a hot cup of coffee or tea.
  • Pair with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for a decadent dessert.
