- Sprinkle half of the cinnamon sugar mixture and half of the apples over the batter.
- Repeat with remaining batter, cinnamon sugar, and apples.
- Swirl slightly with a knife.
Bake:
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Bake for 50-60 minutes, until a toothpick comes out clean.
Cool & Glaze (Optional):
- Let bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a cooling rack.
- Drizzle with glaze before serving.
Notes
- Make it ahead: Freezes well for up to 3 months.
- For a crunchier texture: Add chopped walnuts or pecans.
- Gluten-free adaptation: Use a 1:1 gluten-free flour blend.
- Healthier version: Reduce sugar, use whole wheat flour, or swap in applesauce for butter.
