Method

Main Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a large bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, baking powder, kosher salt, and ground cinnamon until evenly combined.
In another bowl, whisk melted unsalted butter and granulated sugar until smooth. Mix in egg, vanilla extract, and applesauce until well blended.
Gradually stir in the flour mixture into the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined.
Gently fold in the finely diced apples, ensuring they’re evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Transfer the batter into a greased loaf pan, smoothing the top.
Place in the oven and bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean and the bread is golden brown.
While the bread cools, whisk together powdered sugar with apple cider until silky and smooth. Drizzle over the cooled bread.
