Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 cups Unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cups Granulated sugar
- 2 large Eggs
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 0.5 cups Milk
- 1.5 cups Apples, peeled, cored, and diced
- 1 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
- 2 tablespoons Brown sugar
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a standard 9x5-inch loaf pan.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, cream the softened butter and granulated sugar together until light and fluffy using a hand or stand mixer.
Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Mix in the vanilla extract.
Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, alternating with the milk. Begin and end with the dry ingredients. Mix just until combined, being careful not to overmix.
Gently fold in the diced apples using a spatula.
In a small bowl, mix the ground cinnamon and brown sugar together.
Pour half of the batter into the prepared loaf pan and sprinkle half of the cinnamon-brown sugar mixture over it.
Add the remaining batter on top and sprinkle the rest of the cinnamon-brown sugar mixture evenly over the surface.
Using a knife, gently swirl the cinnamon-sugar topping into the batter to create a marbled effect.
Bake in the preheated oven for 55–60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Let the loaf cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Slice and serve your buttery apple loaf as desired!
