Ingredients

Apple Cinnamon Filling

  • 1 cup small-diced apples, approximately 1 large Gala peeled, cored & diced
  • ¼ cup light brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons apple pie spice blend

Batter

  • 1¾ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ cup unsalted butter, room temperature
  • ¾ cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg, room temperature
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • ¾ cup buttermilk

Glaze

  • 1½ cups powdered sugar, sifted
  • 2 tablespoons heavy cream

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven and prepare the pan: Preheat the oven to 350°F and spray an 8½ x 4½-inch loaf pan with baker’s spray. Set aside.
  2. Create the apple cinnamon filling: In a small bowl, mix diced apples, brown sugar, flour, and apple pie spice. Set aside.
  3. Prepare the batter: In separate bowls, mix dry ingredients and beat butter and sugar. Add egg, vanilla, buttermilk, and combine all.
  4. Layer the batter and filling: Spread batter, add apple filling, top with remaining batter, and swirl remaining filling on top.
  5. Bake: Bake for 55-60 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
  6. Make the glaze and finish: Combine powdered sugar and cream, pour over cooled bread, and let set before slicing.

Notes

  • Always start and end with the flour mixture when mixing with an additional wet ingredient for your batters.
  • Oven temperatures may vary, so monitor your bread closely while baking.
  • Place bread on a wire rack before pouring the glaze to prevent excess pooling.
