\nPrep: 15 Cook: 1 hr<\/p>\n
Preheat your oven to 350\u00b0F. Grease<\/strong> and flour<\/strong> a 9\u00d75-inch loaf pan to prevent sticking.<\/p>\n In a small bowl, combine the light brown sugar<\/strong> and ground cinnamon<\/strong>. Stir together and set aside\u2014this will be your cinnamon swirl layer<\/strong>.<\/p>\n In a large mixing bowl, cream<\/strong> the softened butter<\/strong> with the white sugar<\/strong> until light and fluffy. Add the eggs<\/strong> one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract<\/strong>.<\/p>\n In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour<\/strong> and baking powder<\/strong>. Gradually add this to the wet mixture<\/strong>, mixing just until incorporated.<\/p>\n Gently fold in the milk<\/strong> until the batter<\/strong> is smooth and no streaks remain.<\/p>\n Pour half of the batter<\/strong> into the prepared loaf pan. Layer with half of the chopped apples<\/strong> and sprinkle with half of the cinnamon-brown sugar mixture<\/strong>.<\/p>\n Pour the remaining batter<\/strong> over the apple layer, then top with the rest of the apples<\/strong> and the leftover cinnamon mixture<\/strong>. Lightly press the apples<\/strong> into the batter<\/strong> and use a knife to swirl the brown sugar<\/strong> and cinnamon<\/strong> around for a marbled effect.<\/p>\n Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. If the loaf<\/strong> starts browning too quickly, tent with foil for the last 15 minutes.<\/p>\n While the bread<\/strong> cools, make the glaze<\/strong> by whisking together powdered sugar<\/strong> and milk<\/strong> (or cream)<\/strong> in a small bowl. Once the bread is slightly cool, drizzle the glaze<\/strong> over the top.<\/p>\n Slice and serve warm or at room temperature.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Yield: 8 https:\/\/recipesfiber.com\/swedish-apple-cake\/ There\u2019s something irresistible about the sweet aroma of apples and cinnamon wafting from the oven, and nothing captures that cozy warmth quite like a slice of Country Apple Fritter Bread.
