This deliciously sweet apple bread with hints of seasonal spices is the perfect fall dessert. Each bite is packed with apple chunks and hints of cinnamon and vanilla. Make this your new fall favorite indulgence.
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Grease and line a 9x5 loaf pan with parchment paper, also greasing the paper.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk the flour, sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, baking soda, baking powder, and salt together and set aside.
In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs, oil, and vanilla. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir until combined. The batter will be very thick.
Fold the apples into the batter and add to the prepared bread pan.
Bake for 50 to 55 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Cool the bread in the pans for 10 minutes before removing to a wire rack to finish cooling.
Apple Cider Glaze
In a small saucepan, bring the cider to a boil over high heat. Reduce the heat and simmer until the liquid has reduced by half.
Remove from the heat and whisk in the butter, powdered sugar, and vanilla. Drizzle the warm glaze over the cooled bread.
