Cozy Cinnamon Apple Swirl Bread
Ingredients
Method
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×5 inch loaf pan.
- In a bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Add eggs one at a time, then vanilla extract, mixing well after each addition.
- Gradually add in the dry ingredients alternately with the milk, beginning and ending with the flour mixture, until just combined.
- In a small bowl, mix sliced apples with cinnamon and brown sugar. Pour half the batter into the prepared loaf pan, layer with half the apple mixture, and swirl gently with a knife. Repeat with remaining batter and apple mixture.
- Bake for 45-55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

The key to a perfect Apple Swirl Bread is using tart apples like Granny Smith, which balances the sweetness of the cinnamon sugar. Feel free to experiment with a mix of your favorite apple varieties for a personalized flavor.
For an extra indulgent treat, try adding a handful of chopped walnuts or pecans to the batter for added crunch and depth.
