Scale
For the bread:
- 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter
- 3 cups unbleached all-purpose flour
- 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 3 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 2 cups peeled, cored and chopped apples (about 2 apples)
- 2 eggs
- 1 1/4 cups milk
For the topping:
- 1/4 cup unbleached all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
- 1/4 cup packed light brown sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
- 3 tablespoons cold unsalted butter
For the glaze:
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons milk

Instructions
- Heat oven to 350 degrees F; coat the bottom and sides of a large cast-iron skillet with butter.
- In a small saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Continue to stir melted butter until brown bits form on the bottom and the butter turns a caramel color. Remove from heat; strain and set aside to cool slightly.
- In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, cinnamon, baking powder, salt and baking soda. Add apples to a separate medium bowl. Transfer 3 tablespoons of the flour mixture to the bowl with the apples; toss to coat.
- In a separate medium bowl, whisk together eggs, milk and brown butter. Pour wet ingredients into dry ingredients; stir until just combined. Fold in apples.
- Make the topping: Combine flour, oats, sugar and cinnamon in a bowl. Cut in butter with a pastry blender until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Pour batter into prepared skillet; top evenly with streusel topping. Bake 45 minutes to 1 hour until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Cool completely in skillet on a cooling rack. Combine ingredients for glaze. Drizzle over fully cooled bread.
