Description

This delightful Apple Bread Recipe is a moist and flavorful quick bread packed with warm spices and tender apple chunks. Topped with a luscious apple cider glaze, it’s perfect for breakfast, brunch, or a cozy afternoon snack.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 cup light brown sugar, packed
  • 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • 3/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 4 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 cup oil
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 2 cups apples, chopped and peeled (about 2 medium apples)
  • 1/2 cup apple cider
  • 1 tablespoon salted butter
  • 6 tablespoons powdered sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Grease and line a 9×5 loaf pan with parchment paper, also greasing the parchment for easy release.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together 3 cups all-purpose flour, 1 cup granulated sugar, 1 cup light brown sugar, 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon, 3/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 1/2 teaspoon baking powder, and 1/2 teaspoon salt until well combined.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk 4 large eggs, 1 cup oil, and 2 teaspoons vanilla extract until smooth. Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. The batter will be very thick.
  4. Gently fold the chopped and peeled apples into the batter evenly, then transfer the batter to the prepared loaf pan and spread it out evenly.
  5. Bake the bread for 50 to 55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Allow the bread to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then remove it and transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
  6. While the bread cools, bring 1/2 cup apple cider to a boil in a small saucepan over high heat. Reduce heat and simmer until the cider has reduced by half.
  7. Remove the reduced cider from heat and whisk in 1 tablespoon salted butter, 6 tablespoons powdered sugar, and 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract until smooth. Drizzle the warm glaze evenly over the cooled apple bread.
