Step 1: Prepare the Apples

1. Peel, core, and dice the apples into small chunks.

3. Set aside while preparing the batter.

This step ensures the apples are evenly coated and flavorful throughout the bread.

Set aside—this will create the signature swirl inside the loaf.

Step 3: Make the Batter

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. Grease and line a 9×5-inch loaf pan with parchment paper.
3. In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy (about 2–3 minutes).
4. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
5. Stir in the vanilla extract.

In another bowl:
6. Whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt.

7. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, alternating with milk.
   (Start and end with the flour mixture.)

Mix just until combined—do not overmix.
