A nostalgic and comforting apple bread, perfect for fall with sweet apples and warm spices.

Ingredients

  • ½ cup brown sugar
  • 1 ½ teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • ½ cup butter, melted
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 2 cups chopped apples (Pink Lady, Gala, Honeycrisp – peeled and chopped, about 2 apples)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Grease and flour an 8 x 5 inch loaf pan or line with parchment paper.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together the brown sugar and cinnamon; set aside.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, whisk the eggs and granulated sugar until well combined.
  4. Stir in the melted butter and vanilla extract until smooth.
  5. Add the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt; mix until just combined.
  6. Gently fold in the chopped apples.
  7. Pour half of the batter into the prepared loaf pan, sprinkle three-quarters of the brown sugar mixture over this layer.
  8. Spread the remaining batter on top and sprinkle with the remaining cinnamon-sugar mixture. Swirl gently with a knife.
  9. Bake for 35 to 45 minutes, or until golden and a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
  10. Let the bread cool completely before slicing and serving.

Notes

Use a mix of apple varieties for a more complex flavor; ensure butter is melted but not too hot.
