Ingredients
For the Bread:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 cups apples, peeled and diced (any sweet variety)
For the Cinnamon Swirl:
- 1/3 cup sugar
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line a 9×5-inch loaf pan with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon. Set aside.
In a large bowl, whisk together melted butter, sugar, eggs, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined. Gently fold in the diced apples.
In a small bowl, mix the sugar and cinnamon.
Pour half of the batter into the loaf pan. Sprinkle half of the cinnamon-sugar mixture on top. Add the remaining batter and top with the rest of the cinnamon-sugar. Use a knife to swirl it into the batter.
Bake for 50–60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. If the top is browning too quickly, cover loosely with foil in the last 15 minutes.
Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. Slice and enjoy!
