How to Make Apple Cinnamon Swirl Bread

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9x5 inch loaf pans.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together 3 cups all-purpose flour, 1 cup granulated sugar, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 1 teaspoon salt, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, and 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg.
  3. Add 2 cups peeled and chopped apples and gently mix until evenly distributed.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 cup buttermilk, 2 large eggs, 1 ripe mashed banana, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and 1/4 cup vegetable oil.
  5. Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. In a small bowl, combine 1/2 cup granulated sugar and 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon.
  7. Pour 1/4 of the batter into each prepared loaf pan.
  8. Sprinkle half of the cinnamon sugar mixture over each layer of batter.
  9. Repeat layers with remaining batter and cinnamon sugar, swirling gently with a knife or toothpick for a marbled effect.
  10. Bake for 60-65 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  11. Let cool in pans for 10 minutes before inverting onto a wire rack to cool completely.
  12. While bread is cooling, whisk together 1/2 cup powdered sugar and 2-3 tablespoons milk until smooth. Drizzle glaze over cooled bread.
