Here’s the recipe for the Homemade Apple Cinnamon Swirl Loaf:
Ingredients:
- 1/3 cup light brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 2/3 cup white sugar
- 1/2 cup butter, softened
- 2 eggs
- 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 3/4 teaspoons baking powder
Instructions:
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a loaf pan.
- Prepare Cinnamon Mixture: In a small bowl, combine the brown sugar and 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon. Set aside.
- Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, cream together the white sugar and softened butter until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs, one at a time, then mix in the vanilla extract.
- Combine Dry Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together the flour and baking powder.
- Mix Batter: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined.
- Assemble: Pour half of the batter into the prepared loaf pan. Sprinkle half of the cinnamon-sugar mixture over the batter.
- Add the remaining batter on top, and then sprinkle the remaining cinnamon-sugar mixture over the top.
- Swirl: Use a knife or skewer to gently swirl the cinnamon-sugar mixture into the batter.
- Bake: Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Cool: Allow the loaf to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
Enjoy your cozy, autumn-inspired apple cinnamon swirl loaf!
