Notes
- Best Apples: Granny Smith apples hold their shape well, while Honeycrisp apples make the bread a little sweeter.
- Don't Overmix: Stir the batter just until combined to keep the loaf soft and tender.
- Cool Before Glazing: Let the bread cool before adding the glaze so it sets nicely.
- Storage: Store covered on the counter for up to 4 days or refrigerate for up to 1 week.
- Freeze: Wrap tightly and freeze for up to 3 months. Thaw at room temperature before serving.
