Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams granulated sugar
- 115 grams unsalted butter, softened
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 250 grams all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 120 milliliters milk
- 2 medium apples, diced (peeled and cored)
- 50 grams brown sugar
- 120 grams powdered sugar
- 0.5 teaspoon vanilla extract (for glaze)
- 1.5 tablespoons milk (for glaze)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and lightly flour a 9x5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the granulated sugar and softened butter until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Beat in the eggs one at a time, ensuring each is fully incorporated before adding the next. Stir in the vanilla extract.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, ground cinnamon, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the milk. Mix just until combined. Do not overmix.
Gently fold the diced apples into the batter until evenly distributed.
Pour half of the batter into the prepared loaf pan. Sprinkle the brown sugar evenly over the layer of batter, then top with the remaining batter.
Smooth the top with a spatula, ensuring it is evenly distributed.
Bake in the preheated oven for 55-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Once baked, remove from the oven and let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then carefully transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
To make the glaze, whisk together the powdered sugar, 0.5 teaspoon of vanilla extract, and 1.5 tablespoons of milk until smooth.
Drizzle the glaze over the cooled bread before slicing and serving. Enjoy your Dutch Apple Bread!
