Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup buttermilk
  • 1 1/2 cups chopped peeled apples (about 2 medium apples)
  • 1/4 cup packed light brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • For the Glaze:
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 2–3 tablespoons milk
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9×5 inch loaf pan.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
  3. In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  4. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the buttermilk, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
  6. In a small bowl, combine the chopped apples, brown sugar, and cinnamon for the filling.
  7. Pour half of the batter into the prepared loaf pan. Sprinkle the apple mixture evenly over the batter. Pour the remaining batter over the apple mixture. Swirl gently with a knife or skewer.
  8. Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  9. Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes before inverting it onto a wire rack to cool completely.
  10. While the bread is cooling, prepare the glaze. In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth. Add more milk if needed to reach desired consistency.
  11. Drizzle the glaze over the cooled bread.

Notes

  • For best results, use firm apples like Honeycrisp, Fuji, or Gala.
  • This bread freezes well. Wrap it tightly in plastic wrap and then in foil. It can be frozen for up to 3 months. Thaw at room temperature.
  • You can add chopped pecans or walnuts to the apple filling for extra crunch.
