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
- 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.
- Create the apple cinnamon filling: In a small bowl, mix diced apples, brown sugar, flour, and apple pie spice. Set aside.
- Prepare the batter: In separate bowls, mix dry ingredients and beat butter and sugar. Add egg, vanilla, buttermilk, and combine all.
- Layer the batter and filling: Spread batter, add apple filling, top with remaining batter, and swirl remaining filling on top.
- Bake: Bake for 55-60 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
- 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.
