Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2/3 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1/2 cup whole milk
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 cups fresh apples (about 2 medium apples, peeled, cored, and diced)
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar (for apples)
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon (for apples)
  • 1/3 cup brown sugar (for streusel)
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour (for streusel)
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon (for streusel)
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted (for streusel)
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar (for glaze)
  • 1–2 tablespoons milk (for glaze)
  • 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract (for glaze)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan or line with parchment paper.
  2. Peel, core, and dice apples. Toss with 2 tablespoons sugar and 1 teaspoon cinnamon. Set aside.
  3. In a small bowl, mix 1/3 cup brown sugar, 1/4 cup flour, and 1 teaspoon cinnamon. Stir in 2 tablespoons melted butter until crumbly. Set aside.
  4. In a large bowl, cream together 1/2 cup softened butter and 2/3 cup sugar until light and fluffy.
  5. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each. Mix in 2 teaspoons vanilla extract.
  6. In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 cups flour, 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder, and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
  7. Add dry ingredients to wet mixture in two parts, alternating with 1/2 cup milk. Mix just until combined.
  8. Spread half the batter in the prepared loaf pan. Top with half the apple mixture and half the streusel. Spoon remaining batter on top, followed by remaining apples and streusel. Swirl a butter knife through the layers 2-3 times.
  9. Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
  10. Cool in pan for 10 minutes, then turn out onto a wire rack. Cool completely before glazing.
  11. Whisk together 1/2 cup powdered sugar, 1-2 tablespoons milk, and 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract until smooth. Drizzle over cooled bread. Let set for 10-15 minutes before slicing.

Notes

Don’t overmix the batter after adding flour to keep the bread tender. Use tart apples like Granny Smith or Honeycrisp for best flavor. Tent with foil if streusel browns too quickly. Cool completely before glazing for best results. Bread can be made gluten-free or dairy-free with simple swaps.
