Ingredients

For the Bread:

• 1/3 cup light brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 2/3 cup white sugar
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
• 2 large eggs
• 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 3/4 teaspoons baking powder
• 1/2 cup milk

For the Apple Mixture:

• 2 large apples, peeled and chopped
• 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

For the Glaze:

• 1/2 cup powdered sugar
• 2-3 tablespoons milk or cream

Instructions

1. Preheat and Prepare:
   • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
   • Grease and flour a 9×5 inch loaf pan.
2. Make Cinnamon Sugar:
   • In a small bowl, mix 1/3 cup light brown sugar and 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon. Set aside.
3. Prepare Apple Mixture:
   • In another bowl, combine the chopped apples with 2 tablespoons of granulated sugar and 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon. Set aside.
4. Make the Batter:
   • In a medium-sized mixing bowl, beat together the white sugar and butter until smooth and creamy.
   • Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
   • Mix in the vanilla extract.
   • In a separate bowl, combine the flour and baking powder.
   • Gradually add the flour mixture to the butter mixture, alternating with the milk, beginning and ending with the flour mixture. Mix just until combined.
5. Layer and Swirl:
   • Pour half of the batter into the prepared loaf pan.
   • Add half of the apple mixture, followed by half of the cinnamon sugar mixture.
   • Pour the remaining batter on top, then add the rest of the apple mixture and the remaining cinnamon sugar mixture.
   • Use a knife or a skewer to swirl the batter slightly.
6. Bake:
   • Bake in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the bread comes out clean.
   • If the top starts to brown too quickly, cover loosely with aluminum foil for the last 10-15 minutes of baking.
7. Cool and Glaze:
   • Allow the bread to cool in the pan for about 15 minutes, then remove from the pan and let it cool completely on a wire rack.
   • Once the bread is completely cool, mix the powdered sugar and milk to make the glaze. Drizzle it over the bread.
