Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 1½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • ⅔ cup white granulated sugar
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1½ teaspoons ground cinnamon

Wet Ingredients

  • ½ cup unsalted butter, softened (plus 3 tablespoons unsalted butter for topping)
  • 2 large eggs
  • ½ cup milk
  • 1½ teaspoons vanilla extract
  • ½ cup light brown sugar

Fruits and Garnish

  • 2 Granny Smith apples, peeled and chopped
  • 3 tablespoons maple syrup
  • 1 tablespoon powdered sugar (for dusting)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure even baking and that the bread develops a perfect golden crust.
  2. Prepare the Pan: Grease a loaf pan generously with cooking spray or butter to prevent sticking and help the bread release easily after baking.
  3. Mix the Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, ground cinnamon, and salt until well combined and aromatic.
  4. Combine the Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, beat the eggs with milk and vanilla extract until smooth. Then stir in the softened butter and light brown sugar to add moisture and richness.
  5. Bring It All Together: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry mixture and gently stir until just combined; a few lumps are okay to keep the bread tender.
  6. Fold in the Apples: Carefully fold in the chopped Granny Smith apples and a sprinkle of cinnamon, which will distribute bursts of sweetness and texture throughout the loaf.
  7. Transfer to the Pan: Spoon the batter evenly into the prepared loaf pan and gently shake to level the surface for even baking.
  8. Bake the Bread: Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 50-60 minutes. The bread is done when a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, and the aroma fills your kitchen.
  9. Cool and Serve: Let the bread cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely. Drizzle with maple syrup, melt the 3 tablespoons of butter to brush on top if desired, and dust with powdered sugar before slicing and serving.

Notes

  • This bread is best served slightly warm to enjoy the soft texture and fresh apple flavors.
  • You can substitute Granny Smith apples with other tart apple varieties like Honeycrisp or Braeburn for variation.
  • Adding a tablespoon of nuts like walnuts or pecans can add a delightful crunch if desired.
  • Store leftover bread tightly wrapped at room temperature for up to 2 days or refrigerate up to 1 week.
  • Reheat slices gently in the microwave or toaster oven for a fresh-baked experience.
