Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup (240ml) milk
- 1/2 cup (100g) granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup (57g) unsalted butter, melted
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 1/2 cups (300g) all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1 cup (150g) chopped apples (Honeycrisp or Gala recommended)
- For the Glaze:
- 1 cup (120g) powdered sugar
- 2–3 tablespoons milk
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9×5 inch loaf pan.
- In a large bowl, whisk together milk, granulated sugar, melted butter, egg, and vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Gently fold in the chopped apples.
- Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and spread evenly.
- Bake for 45-55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
- While the bread is cooling, prepare the glaze. In a small bowl, whisk together powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth. Add more milk if needed to reach desired consistency.
- Once the bread has cooled completely, drizzle the glaze over the top.
Notes
- Using firm, slightly tart apples like Honeycrisp or Gala will give the best texture and flavor.
- Ensure your apples are chopped into small, uniform pieces for even distribution.
- Do not overmix the batter after adding the dry ingredients, as this can result in a tough bread.
- The glaze can be adjusted to your preference; add more powdered sugar for a thicker glaze or more milk for a thinner one.
