Bread:

1. Preheat oven to 350°F (177°C). Spray, butter, and flour a standard loaf pan.

2. In a large mixing bowl, beat together the softened butter, pumpkin spice, brown sugar, and white sugar until well combined.

3. Add the vanilla extract, pumpkin purée, and egg. Mix until smooth (the batter will look loose).

4. In a medium bowl, whisk together 1 ¾ cups flour, sea salt, and baking powder.

5. In another small bowl, toss the chopped apples with the remaining ¼ cup flour until coated.

6. Gently fold the dry flour mixture into the pumpkin-butter mixture until just incorporated—do not overmix.

7. Fold in the floured apples until evenly distributed.

8. Pour batter into prepared loaf pan and smooth the top.

9. Bake for 1 hour 15 minutes, or until a toothpick/wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.

10. Let the loaf cool in the pan on a wire rack before removing.

Glaze:

1. In a small bowl, whisk together milk and confectioners’ sugar until smooth.

2. Drizzle over cooled bread before serving.
