  • 1 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup buttermilk
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 4 eggs lightly beaten

Instructions

For The Bread

  • Heat oven to 350°F. Grease bottoms only of 2 (8×4-inch) loaf pans with cooking spray or shortening.
  • In large bowl, stir together apples, 1 cup brown sugar, buttermilk, oil and eggs.
  • Stir in remaining bread ingredients just until dry ingredients are moistened. Pour into pans.
  • Bake 45 to 55 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean.
  • Cool 10 minutes on cooling rack.
  • Loosen the sides of the loaves from the pans; remove them from the pans and place them on the cooling rack, top sides up.
  • Cool completely, about 1 hour.

For The Glaze

  • In 1-quart saucepan, melt butter over medium heat.
  • Stir in 1/4 cup brown sugar.
  • Heat to boiling, stirring constantly; reduce heat to low.
  • Boil and stir 2 minutes. Stir in milk. Heat to boiling; remove from heat.
  • Cool to lukewarm, about 30 minutes.
  • Gradually stir powdered sugar into glaze mixture.
  • Place saucepan of glaze in bowl of cold water.
  • Beat with a spoon until smooth and thin enough to drizzle. If the glaze becomes too stiff, stir in additional milk, 1/2 teaspoon at a time, or heat over low heat, stirring constantly.
  • Drizzle glaze over loaves.
  • Wrap tightly and store at room temperature up to 4 days, or refrigerate up to 10 days.
