Glazed Apple Cinnamon Bread Simple and Tasty Treat

Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1 2 salt
• 1 2 unsalted butter, softened
• 3 4 brown sugar, packed
• 2 large eggs
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 cup Greek yogurt or sour cream
• 1 1/2 apples, peeled and diced (about 2 medium apples)
• 1 4 chopped walnuts (optional)
• 1 cup powdered sugar
• 2 tablespoons milk
• 1 2 vanilla extract

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal later.
2. In a bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, ground cinnamon, and salt. Set aside.
3. In a large mixing bowl, cream the softened butter and brown sugar together until light and fluffy (about 3-4 minutes).
4. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then add the vanilla extract and mix until well combined.
5. Gently fold in the Greek yogurt (or sour cream) until fully combined.
6. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined—not overmixing.
7. Fold in the diced apples and walnuts gently into the batter.
8. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and spread it evenly. Bake in the preheated oven for 55-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
9. Once baked, allow the bread to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
10. In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth. Adjust the consistency with more milk or powdered sugar as needed.
11. Once the bread has cooled, drizzle the glaze over the top, allowing it to cascade down the sides beautifully.
