Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1 cup peeled and diced apples
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar for the Cinnamon Swirl
  • 1 tbsp ground cinnamon for the Cinnamon Swirl

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Loaf Pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a loaf pan thoroughly to ensure the loaf can be removed easily after baking.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set this mixture aside as you prepare the wet ingredients.
  3. Cream Butter and Sugars: In a separate mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy.
  4. Incorporate Eggs and Liquids: Gradually add in the eggs, one at a time, to the creamed sugar mixture, ensuring each is fully incorporated before adding the next. Follow with the milk and vanilla extract, mixing well.
  5. Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients: Slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing just until combined to avoid overworking the batter.
  6. Add Apples and Swirl: Gently fold in the diced apples. In a small bowl, mix the additional granulated sugar and ground cinnamon. Spoon this mixture over the batter and use a knife or spatula to swirl it through the batter to create a marbled effect.
  7. Bake: Pour the final batter into the greased loaf pan. Bake in the preheated oven for 60-70 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  8. Cool and Serve: Allow the loaf to cool in the pan for at least 10 minutes before removing. Transfer to a wire rack and let cool completely before slicing.
