Ingredients

Apple filling
  • 2 cups apples peeled, cored and chopped, about 3 apples
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1 tablespoon white sugar
Bread
  • ½ cup unsalted butter softened (1 stick)
  • ⅔ cup granulated sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 ½ teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 ½ cups flour
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ½ cup buttermilk
Topping
  • ½ cup brown sugar
  • 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
Glaze (optional)
  • ½ cup powdered sugar
  • 1 tablespoon milk

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  2. Grease a loaf pan that is at least 8 x 4 x 3 inches with nonstick cooking spray.
  3. Peel, core and chop the apples.
  4. Toss the apples with the teaspoon of cinnamon and tablespoon of white sugar. Set aside while you make the bread.
  5. Use an electric mixer to cream the butter with the white sugar until fluffy. Once it is mixed add the eggs and vanilla mix until just combined.
  6. In a separate bowl combine the flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt.
  7. Add the dry ingredients to the mixer and combine. Then pour in the buttermilk and mix until smooth.
  8. Spread half of the batter in the prepared loaf pan and use a rubber spatula to spread it out. Add half of the apple mixture on top, pressing them down into the layer of batter.
  9. Spread the remaining bread batter over top of the apples. Top the loaf pan with the remaining apple mixture.
  10. In a small mixing bowl combine the brown sugar with 2 teaspoons of cinnamon. Spread this streusel mixture on top of the bread.
  11. Bake the apple bread at 350 degrees F for 60-70 minutes. It is done when toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  12. Let the bread cool in the pan for 15 minutes. Then carefully remove from the pan.
  13. Optional: When the bread is cool combine the glaze ingredients and stir until smooth. Drizzle the sweet glaze over the loaf of bread.

Notes

  • If you don't have buttermilk just add a teaspoon of white vinegar or lemon juice to the milk and use that instead.
  • You can use apple pie spice instead of cinnamon.
  • If the bread is browning too rapidly on top, cover it with foil.
  • Let the bread cool completely before you slice it so it cuts easily without crumbling.
