Ingredients
For the Bread:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 2 large eggs
- ½ cup vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup diced apples (peeled and cored; Granny Smith or Honeycrisp work best)
For the Glaze:
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 2–3 tablespoons milk
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Set oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt.
- Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, beat the eggs. Add oil and vanilla, mixing until smooth.
- Bring It Together: Pour wet ingredients into dry ingredients. Stir gently until just combined—avoid overmixing.
- Fold in Apples: Gently fold diced apples into the batter.
- Bake: Transfer batter to loaf pan, smoothing the top. Bake for 55–65 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. (If browning too quickly, cover with foil.)
- Cool: Let bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack. Cool completely.
- Make the Glaze: In a small bowl, whisk powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla until smooth. Adjust milk for desired thickness.
- Glaze the Bread: Drizzle glaze over cooled loaf before slicing.
