Ingredients
  

For the Bread
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 2 large eggs lightly beaten
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil or other neutral oil
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1.5 cups apples peeled, cored, and diced
For the Cinnamon Swirl
  • 1/3 cup brown sugar packed
  • 1 tbsp ground cinnamon
For the Glaze
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 tbsp milk
  • 1/4 tsp vanilla extract

Equipment

  • 1 9x5 inch Loaf Pan
  • 2 Mixing Bowls
  • 1 Wire Cooling Rack

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x5 inch loaf pan.
  2. In a small bowl, combine the brown sugar and cinnamon for the swirl. Set aside.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking soda, and salt.
  4. In a separate medium bowl, whisk the eggs, vegetable oil, and 1 tsp vanilla extract.
  5. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix. Gently fold in the diced apples.
  6. Pour half of the batter into the prepared pan. Sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar mixture evenly over the batter.
  7. Top with the remaining batter and spread evenly. Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  8. Let cool in the pan for 15 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
  9. Once cool, mix the powdered sugar, milk, and 1/4 tsp vanilla extract for the glaze. Drizzle over the bread, let it set, then serve.

Notes

For best results, use firm, crisp apples like Granny Smith or Honeycrisp.
Be careful not to overmix the batter, as this can result in a tough bread.
