Ingredients
Scale
- 2 large eggs
- 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 (such as Pink Lady, Gala, or Honeycrisp)
- ½ cup brown sugar
- 1 ½ teaspoons ground cinnamon
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare an 8 x 5 inch loaf pan by greasing it or lining it with parchment paper.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the brown sugar and ground cinnamon; set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk eggs and granulated sugar until combined. Stir in melted butter and vanilla extract until smooth.
- Add flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt to the wet ingredients; mix until just combined.
- Gently fold in chopped apples until evenly distributed.
- Pour half of the batter into the prepared loaf pan, sprinkle with three-quarters of the cinnamon mixture, then layer the remaining batter on top.
- Sprinkle the rest of the cinnamon mixture over the top and gently swirl it into the batter.
- Bake for about 35 to 45 minutes until golden brown and a toothpick inserted comes out clean. Tent with foil if necessary to prevent over-browning.
- Allow to cool completely before slicing.
