🍏 Apple Cinnamon Bread with Vanilla Glaze: A Cozy Treat for Any Day 🍏
🔥 Baking Time!
10. Bake:
Bake for 50–60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. If the top browns too quickly, tent with foil.
11. Cool Down:
Allow the bread to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack. This helps prevent the glaze from melting off.
🍮 Making the Vanilla Glaze
12. Whisk the Glaze:
Combine powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla. Adjust the milk for desired consistency. You want it thick but pourable.
13. Drizzle Away:
Drizzle the glaze over the cooled bread, letting it drip down the sides for that bakery-style finish.

Choose the Right Apples: Tart varieties like Granny Smith balance the sweetness, while Honeycrisp adds a juicy crunch.
Don’t Overmix: Overmixing can result in a dense bread. Stir just until combined.
