Ingredients
- ⅓ cup light brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon plus 1 ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ⅔ cup sugar plus 2 tablespoons sugar
- ½ cup unsalted butter
- 2 large eggs
- 1 ½ teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- 1 ½ cups flour
- 1 ¾ teaspoons baking powder
- ½ cup whole milk
- 2 large Granny Smith apples, peeled and chopped
Instructions
- Preheat and Prepare: Start by preheating your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Grease a 9×5 glass loaf pan with Pam baking spray for easy removal of the bread later on.
- Prepare the Cinnamon Sugar Mixture: In a small bowl, mix together the brown sugar and 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon. Set aside this flavorful mixture for later use.
- Cream Butter and Sugar: In a large bowl, beat together the sugar and butter until well combined and fluffy, creating a creamy base for our bread.
- Incorporate Eggs and Vanilla: Beat in the eggs one at a time until fully combined, then add the pure vanilla extract for an extra layer of flavor.
- Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the flour and baking powder until evenly combined, ensuring a light and airy texture for our bread.
- Gradually Add Dry Ingredients: Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the butter and sugar mixture, ensuring everything is well incorporated.
- Add Milk: Mix in the whole milk until the batter reaches a smooth and creamy consistency, adding moisture and richness to our bread.
- Layer Batter and Apples: Scoop half of the batter into the prepared loaf pan, then layer the chopped apples evenly on top. Cover the apples with the remaining batter, spreading it out evenly.
- Sprinkle with Cinnamon Sugar: Sprinkle the reserved brown sugar and cinnamon mixture over the top of the batter, lightly pushing it into the batter for added flavor.
- Bake to Perfection: Place the loaf pan in the preheated oven and bake for 50-65 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Cool and Enjoy: Allow the bread to cool completely in the pan before slicing and serving. Enjoy the warm, comforting flavors of fall in every bite!
