Ingredients
  

Batter

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tbsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup milk

Cinnamon Sugar Topping

Glaze

  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 tbsp milk

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon.
  • In another bowl, whisk eggs, vegetable oil, vanilla, and milk until smooth.
  • Stir wet ingredients into dry ingredients just until combined — do not overmix.
  • Gently fold in chopped apples until evenly distributed.
  • Pour half the batter into the prepared loaf pan.
  • Mix brown sugar and cinnamon for the topping in a small bowl.
  • Sprinkle half the topping over the batter.
  • Add remaining batter and sprinkle the rest of the topping.
  • Swirl a knife or skewer through the loaf to create a marbled effect.
  • Bake for 50–60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  • Let cool for 10 minutes in the pan, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
  • In a small bowl, mix powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla until smooth. Drizzle glaze over the cooled bread.
  • Slice and enjoy the warm, spiced flavors!

Notes

For extra flavor, use a mix of sweet and tart apples like Honeycrisp and Granny Smith. You can also add a handful of chopped nuts or drizzle with caramel for a richer treat.
