Ingredients

Cake Batter

½ cup butter softened
1 cup white sugar
2 large eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 teaspoons cinnamon
1 ½ cups milk
2 ⅓ cup all purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
¼ teaspoon salt

Apple Filling

3 cups apples peeled & diced
½ cup salted butter softened to room temperature
1 cup dark brown sugar
2 tablespoons flour
2 tablespoon cinnamon

Sweet Glaze

2 cups powdered sugar
5 tablespoons milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350°F.
Grease and flour two 9x5 loaf pans or line with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, combine the wet ingredients: butter, sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract.
Combine the dry ingredients in a medium bowl: flour, baking powder, and salt.
Slowly mix the dry ingredients into the bowl of wet ingredients, alternating with the milk.
Peel and dice the apples.
Combine the softened butter, brown sugar, cinnamon, and flour in a medium bowl and stir in the apples.
Pour the cake batter evenly between each prepared pan.
Divide and spread the apple mixture over the batter and use a knife to gently swirl it into the cake.
Bake for 50-60 minutes. Check the center with a toothpick around the 50-minute mark.
Let the loaves cool for at least 20 minutes.
Carefully remove the loaves from the pan and cool completely on a wire rack.
While the cake cools, mix together the glaze ingredients.
Drizzle the sweet glaze over the cooled loaves, and allow the glaze to harden before slicing.

Notes

Tart apples such as Granny Smith are best for this cake. Honeycrisp apples are also a good choice but are sweeter.
