- Grease and line a 9×5-inch loaf pan.
- Pour half the batter into the pan.
- Sprinkle half the cinnamon-sugar mixture and top with half of the apple mixture.
- Repeat with the remaining batter, apples, and cinnamon sugar.
- Use a knife to gently swirl through the layers, creating a marbled effect.
Step 5: Bake
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Bake for 50–60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- If the top starts browning too quickly, cover with foil for the last 10 minutes.
Step 6: Add the Glaze
- Once baked, allow the bread to cool in the pan for about 15 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack.
- Whisk powdered sugar with milk until smooth and drizzle over the cooled loaf.
Tips for Success
- Apple choice matters: Use a mix of sweet and tart apples like Honeycrisp or Granny Smith for the best flavor.
- Don’t overmix: Stir batter just until combined to keep the bread soft and tender.
- Storage: Wrap leftovers tightly; it stays moist for up to 3 days at room temperature or can be frozen for longer storage.
