Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Grease and line a 9x5 loaf pan with parchment paper, and grease the paper as well.

- In another bowl, whisk the eggs, oil, and vanilla extract together. Pour into the dry mixture and stir until combined. Expect a thick batter.
- Gently fold in the chopped apples. Pour the batter into the prepared bread pan.
Baking
- Bake for 50 to 55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Let the bread cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Glazing
- To make the glaze, melt the salted butter. Mix in the powdered sugar, apple cider, and vanilla extract until smooth.
- Drizzle the glaze over the cooled Apple Bread.
