Time to Cook

Prep: 15 minutes | Cook: 50 minutes | Total: 1 hour 5 minutes | Difficulty: Easy | Make-Ahead: You can prepare the batter a day in advance.

Steps to Make It

1. Preheat your oven to 350 °F (175 °C). Grease a 9×5 inch loaf pan. This helps the bread release easily after baking, so don’t skip this step.
2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon. The mixture should be light and fluffy, which is a good sign that your bread will rise nicely.
3. In another bowl, mix the melted butter, eggs, and vanilla extract until well combined. You’ll want this mixture to be smooth and creamy, which adds richness to the bread.
4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay. This keeps the bread tender and moist.
5. Gently fold in the diced apples. You’ll see the beautiful chunks of apple throughout the batter, which adds sweetness and texture.
6. In a small bowl, combine the brown sugar and cinnamon for the swirl. This will give your bread a delightful cinnamon flavor that pairs perfectly with the apples.
7. Pour half of the batter into the prepared loaf pan. Sprinkle half of the cinnamon mixture over the batter, then add the remaining batter on top. Finally, sprinkle the rest of the cinnamon mixture over the top. This creates a lovely swirl when baked.
8. Bake in the preheated oven for 50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. The top should be golden brown and the aroma will fill your kitchen.
9. Let the bread cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack. This helps it set and makes slicing easier.

Make It Perfect

• For extra flavor, try adding chopped nuts like walnuts or pecans.
• You can drizzle a simple glaze over the top for a sweet finish.
• If you want to make mini loaves, reduce the baking time to about 30 minutes.

Mix It Up

• Add raisins or dried cranberries for a fruity twist.
• Mix in some shredded carrots for a unique flavor.
• Try using different spices like cardamom or allspice for a different taste.

Perfect Partners

• Serve with a dollop of whipped cream.
• Pair with a hot cup of coffee or tea.
• Enjoy it warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
