Ingredients
  

For the bread
  • 1/2 cup butter (1 stick, softened) Can substitute with equal coconut oil.
  • 2/3 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 pieces eggs Room temperature is best.
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour For gluten-free, replace with a 1:1 blend.
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 cup milk Can substitute with buttermilk or non-dairy milk.
For the apples
  • 2 cups apples, peeled, cored, and chopped (about 2 medium) Granny Smith or Honeycrisp work well.
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon For apples.
  • 1 tablespoon granulated sugar For apples.
For the glaze
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 tablespoon milk Can substitute with maple syrup.
For the topping
  • 1/3 cup brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon For topping.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8.5 x 4.5 x 2.5-inch loaf pan with non-stick spray.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk 1/3 cup brown sugar with 1 teaspoon cinnamon. Set aside.
  3. In a large bowl, use an electric mixer to cream 1/2 cup softened butter and 2/3 cup granulated sugar until light and fluffy (about 2–3 minutes).
  4. Beat in 2 eggs, one at a time. Add 2 teaspoons vanilla and mix until combined.
  5. In a separate bowl, whisk 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour with 2 teaspoons baking powder.
  6. Add the flour mixture to the butter mixture and stir until just combined.
  7. Pour in 1/2 cup milk and mix until the batter is smooth.
Layering
  1. Pour half the batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
  2. In a small bowl, toss 2 cups chopped apples with 1 teaspoon cinnamon and 1 tablespoon granulated sugar.
  3. Scatter half the apple mixture over the batter. Spread the remaining batter over the apples.
  4. Top with the remaining apples and gently press them into the batter.
  5. Evenly sprinkle the reserved brown sugar–cinnamon mix over the top.
Baking
  1. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for about 1 hour, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. If the top browns too quickly, tent with foil for the last 10–15 minutes.
  2. Cool in the pan for about 30 minutes, then transfer to a rack.
Glazing
  1. Whisk 1/2 cup powdered sugar with 1 tablespoon milk until smooth. Drizzle over the cooled loaf.
  2. Slice and serve.
