Ingredients
- 2 cups green apples , peeled and chopped (about 2 medium)
- ⅓ cup light brown sugar , packed
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 1 ½ cups flour
- 1 ½ teaspoons apple pie spice ,
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ cup salted butter , softened
- 1 cup sugar
- 2 eggs , room temperature
- ½ cup whole milk , room temperature
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cuo powdered sugar icing , click for recipe
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F and spray a 9x5 loaf pan with non-stick cooking spray or line with parchment paper, and set aside.
- In a medium mixing bowl, toss together the chopped apples with the brown sugar and cinnamon to coat, set aside.
- Ina separate bowl, whisk or sift together the flour, apple pie spice, baking powder, and baking soda. Set aside.
- In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment or a medium bowl using a an electric of a hand mixer, cream the butter and sugar on medium speed until well combined, about 2 minutes.
- Add the eggs one at a time, mixing gently on low speed.
- Add in the dry ingredients and mix using a rubber spatula
- Slowly pour in the milk and vanilla extract and combine gently until the batter is creamy, about 1 minute.
- Pour half of the completed batter into the bottom of your loaf pan, then pour half of the prepared apple mixture.
- Repeat layers ending with the other half of the apple mixture. Swirl in a figure-eight pattern; I found using a butter knife works best for this. Then, tap the pan to settle.
- Place the bread into the oven for one hour or until a toothpick comes out clean from the center of the loaf.
- Let the bread cool for one hour and then drizzle with the powdered sugar icing. Slice using a serrated knife.
