Ingredients
Cinnamon Swirl:
½ cup brown sugar
1½ teaspoons ground cinnamon
Batter:
2 large eggs, room temperature
½ cup granulated sugar
½ cup unsalted butter, melted
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1½ cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
½ teaspoon baking soda
¼ teaspoon salt
2 cups chopped apples (Pink Lady, Gala, or Honeycrisp — peeled and chopped)
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour an 8×5-inch loaf pan, or line it with parchment paper.
In a small bowl, whisk together brown sugar and cinnamon. Set aside.
In a large bowl, whisk together eggs and granulated sugar until smooth.
Stir in melted butter and vanilla extract.
Add flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Stir until just combined — the batter will be thick.
Gently fold in the chopped apples.
Pour half the batter into the loaf pan. Sprinkle about ¾ of the cinnamon sugar mixture on top.
Spread remaining batter over the top. Sprinkle the rest of the cinnamon sugar mixture and gently swirl it with a knife or spoon.
Bake for 35–45 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean (or with a few moist crumbs). Tent with foil if browning too quickly.
Cool completely before slicing and serving.
Notes
Store in an airtight container at room temp for up to 3–4 days.
Refrigerate for 1 week or freeze up to 3 months.
Reheat slices in the microwave or lightly toast for best flavor.
For a vegan version, substitute with flax eggs and plant-based butter.
Swap apples with pears or blueberries for a fruity twist.
