Ingredients

Main Ingredients

3 small Granny Smith apples peeled, cored, and diced small (about 2 cups)
0.5 cup light brown sugar packed
1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
0.67 cup granulated sugar
0.5 cup unsalted butter room temperature (1 stick)
2 large eggs room temperature

2 teaspoons baking powder
0.5 teaspoon kosher salt
1 cup confectioners' sugar

Instructions

Preparation Steps

Preheat oven to 350°F. Spray a 9x5-inch loaf pan with nonstick cooking spray. Set aside.
In a medium bowl, combine apples, brown sugar, and ground cinnamon. Mix well to coat the apples. Set aside.
In a stand mixer bowl, beat granulated sugar and unsalted butter until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Add eggs, vanilla extract, and whole milk to the butter mixture and mix on medium speed until fully combined.
Add flour, baking powder, and kosher salt into the mixer and mix until just combined, scraping down the sides as needed.
Remove bowl from mixer and gently fold in three-quarters of the apple mixture, reserving about half a cup for topping.
Pour batter into the prepared loaf pan and spread evenly.
Top batter with the reserved apple mixture evenly.
Bake in preheated oven for 65 to 70 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with crumbs but no wet batter. The internal temperature should be 200°F.
Remove bread from pan and place on a wire rack to cool.
To prepare glaze, whisk confectioners' sugar with 2 to 3 tablespoons of whole milk one tablespoon at a time until smooth and desired consistency is reached.
Drizzle glaze over cooled bread before serving.
