Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups (240 g) all-purpose flour
- 1 cup (200 g) granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon (in batter)
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup (120 ml) vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup (120 ml) milk
- 2 medium apples, peeled, cored, and chopped (about 1 1/2–2 cups)
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar (for sprinkling)

- For the glaze:
- 1/2 cup (60 g) powdered sugar
- 1 tablespoon milk
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, salt, and 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon until evenly distributed.
- In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs, vegetable oil, vanilla extract, and milk until combined.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. Avoid overmixing.
- Fold in the chopped apples until evenly distributed.
- Pour about half the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top.
- In a small bowl, combine brown sugar and 1 teaspoon cinnamon for the topping. Sprinkle half over the batter.
- Add the remaining batter on top and sprinkle the rest of the cinnamon-sugar mixture. Swirl gently.
- Bake for 50–60 minutes, until a toothpick comes out clean.
- Cool in the pan for 10–15 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack.
- While cooling, whisk together powdered sugar, 1 tablespoon milk, and 1/2 teaspoon vanilla for the glaze. Drizzle over cooled loaf.
- Slice and enjoy!
