Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon (for batter)
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup peeled, chopped apples (about 1 large apple)
  • 1/2 cup finely chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)
  • For the Swirl: 1/4 cup brown sugar, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • For the Glaze: 1 cup powdered sugar, 2 tablespoons milk, 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract, 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a standard 9×5 inch loaf pan.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, 1 teaspoon cinnamon, and salt. Set aside.
  3. In a large bowl, cream the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then mix in the vanilla extract.
  4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined. Do not overmix.
  5. Gently fold in the chopped apples and nuts (if using).
  6. In a small bowl, mix the brown sugar and 1 teaspoon cinnamon for the swirl.
  7. Spread half of the batter into the prepared loaf pan. Sprinkle the entire cinnamon-sugar swirl mixture evenly over the batter. Top with the remaining batter.
  8. Bake for 50 to 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 turning it out onto a wire rack to cool completely.
  10. While the bread cools, prepare the glaze: Whisk together the powdered sugar, milk, vanilla, and 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon until smooth.
  11. Drizzle the glaze over the cooled bread before slicing and serving.

Notes

  • Use firm, tart apples like Honeycrisp or Granny Smith for the best texture.
  • Chef Tariq recommends using room temperature ingredients for a more uniform batter.
  • If you prefer a stronger apple flavor, toss the chopped apples with 1 teaspoon of flour before folding them into the batter.
