Ingredients

Prep Time: 20 minutes

Bake Time: 1 hour

Total Time: 1 hour 20 minutes

Serving Size: 8

Cake Batter:

  • ½ cup salted butter softened
  • 2/3 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 1/2 cups flour
  • 1/2 cup greek yogurt
  • 1/4 cup milk

Apple mixture:

  • 2 medium apples granny smith - about 2 cups
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar packed
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon

Brown sugar - Cinnamon mixture

  • 1/4 cup brown sugar packed
  • 1/2 Tablespoon cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon sugar

Glaze:

  • 1 cup confectioners sugar
  • 3 Tablespoon cream or milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla white or dark

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
  • Prepare a 9x5-inch loaf pan by spraying it with non-stick spray.
  • In a large bowl, beat together ½ cup butter and the cup sugar until smooth.
  • Then, one at a time, beat in the eggs.
  • Mix in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
  • Mix in baking powder and flour. Mix only until blended - do not overmix.
  • Add greek yogurt and milk into batter and gently mix just until smooth. Set this aside.
  • In a separate bowl, stir together the apple coating, 1/2 cup brown sugar and 1 teaspoon cinnamon. Set this aside.
  • Peel and dice the 2 apples.
  • Add these to the brown sugar and cinnamon mixture to coat.
  • Pour half of the batter into the prepared loaf pan.
  • Then layer on half the apple mixture.
  • Sprinkle ½ of the brown sugar/cinnamon/sugar mixture on top of the apple layer.
  • Gently swirl a knife through the layers.
  • Then we’ll repeat the layers one more time: batter, then apple mixture, then end with the brown sugar-cinnamon mixture.
  • Again, use a knife to swirl through the layers.
  • Bake the loaf until it is fully cooked (an inserted toothpick comes out with no batter sticking to it). Check it after 50 minutes, then after each 5 minutes.
  • If the loaf starts getting dark on top before the loaf is fully baked, put a piece of tin foil over the top to protect it from burning.
  • When the loaf is removed from the oven it needs to cool for at least 30 minutes before you add the glaze (otherwise it will all soak in).
  • While the loaf is cooling you could make the glaze.
  • Whisk together confectioners sugar, cream, and vanilla until smooth.
  • You can thicken it by using more confectioners sugar, or thin it by using more cream.
  • Glaze the bread.
  • ENJOY!
