This homemade apple bread is a warm, cozy treat perfect for fall, with a cinnamon swirl and juicy apples in every bite.

Ingredients

½ cup brown sugar

1 ½ teaspoons ground cinnamon

2 large eggs, room temperature

½ cup granulated sugar

½ cup butter, melted

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 ½ cups all-purpose flour

1 teaspoon baking powder

½ teaspoon baking soda

¼ teaspoon salt

2 cups chopped apples (Pink Lady, Gala, Honeycrisp – peeled and chopped, about 2 apples)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease and flour an 8 x 5 inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper. Set aside.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together brown sugar and cinnamon and set aside.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, whisk the eggs and granulated sugar together until well combined.
  4. Stir in the melted butter and vanilla extract until smooth.
  5. Add the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Mix until just combined. The batter will be thick.
  6. Gently fold in the chopped apples.
  7. Pour half of the batter into the prepared loaf pan. Sprinkle about three-quarters of the brown sugar mixture over the batter.
  8. Carefully spread the remaining batter on top of the brown sugar mixture. Sprinkle the remaining cinnamon sugar over the top and gently swirl it into the batter using a knife or spoon.
  9. Bake for 35 to 45 minutes, or until the top is golden and a toothpick inserted comes out clean (or with just a few moist crumbs). If the bread is browning too quickly, tent it with foil for the last 10 to 15 minutes.
  10. Let the bread cool completely before slicing and serving.

Notes

  • Store the bread in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3–4 days.
  • If you’d like the bread to last longer, refrigerate it for up to a week or freeze it for up to 3 months.
  • Reheat in the microwave for 20-30 seconds or lightly toast for a delicious treat.
  • For a vegan version, use flax eggs and plant-based butter.
  • If you prefer a different fruit, you can replace the apples with pears or blueberries.
