Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 ½ cups (300g) all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1 cup (200g) granulated sugar
  • ¼ cup (50g) brown sugar
  • ½ cup (115g) unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • ½ cup (120g) plain Greek yogurt
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 medium apples, peeled, cored, and diced (about ½-inch pieces)
  • Cinnamon sugar swirl:
  • ½ cup (100g) granulated sugar
  • 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • Simple glaze:
  • 1 cup (120g) powdered sugar
  • 2–3 tablespoons milk (or almond/oat milk for dairy-free)
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×5 inch loaf pan with butter or non-stick spray and set aside.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk granulated sugar, brown sugar, and melted butter until smooth. Add eggs, Greek yogurt, and vanilla extract; whisk until fully incorporated.
  4. Slowly pour wet mixture into dry ingredients and fold gently with a spatula until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. Fold diced apples carefully into the batter.
  6. In a small bowl, combine cinnamon sugar swirl ingredients. Sprinkle half into the bottom of the loaf pan. Pour half the batter over it, then sprinkle remaining cinnamon sugar, and top with remaining batter.
  7. Bake for 50-60 minutes, checking at 50 minutes with a toothpick; it should come out clean or with a few moist crumbs. Cover with foil if top browns too quickly.
  8. Cool bread in pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a cooling rack to cool completely.
  9. Whisk powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract to make glaze. Adjust milk for desired thickness.
  10. Drizzle glaze over cooled bread and let set for 15 minutes before slicing.

Notes

Use firm apples like Honeycrisp or Fuji for best texture. Do not overmix batter to keep bread tender. Let bread cool completely before glazing to prevent glaze from melting off. Optionally add chopped nuts for crunch. For gluten-free, use a 1:1 gluten-free baking blend. For dairy-free, substitute butter with coconut oil and use plant-based yogurt and milk.
