  • Check the loaf after 50 minutes and cover with foil if the top browns too fast.
  • Let the bread cool before glazing to avoid a runny glaze.

variation (if any)

  • Add 1/2 cup chopped nuts (walnuts or pecans) for crunch.
  • Stir in 1/4 cup raisins or dried cranberries for extra chew.
  • For more cinnamon flavor, mix 1 teaspoon cinnamon into the glaze.

FAQs

Q: Can I use a different type of apple?
A: Yes. Use any firm apple you like, but avoid very soft varieties.

Q: Can I make this in a bundt pan?
A: Yes. Adjust baking time and check with a toothpick; a bundt pan may need a bit more time.

Q: Can I use oil instead of butter?
A: Yes. Use the same amount of neutral oil if you want to skip melted butter.

Q: How do I know when it is done?
A: A toothpick inserted in the center should come out clean or with a few moist crumbs.

Q: Can I skip the glaze?
A: Yes. The bread is good without glaze. The glaze adds sweetness and shine.
