Ingredients
Main ingredients
- 1/3 cup brown sugar

- 2/3 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup butter, softened
- 2 eggs
- 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract

Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9×5 inch loaf pan.
- In a small bowl, combine the brown sugar and cinnamon. Toss the diced apples in a small amount of this mixture to coat them.
Batter Preparation
- In a medium bowl, beat the granulated sugar and butter until light and fluffy. Add eggs and vanilla, mixing well.
- Whisk flour and baking powder together and add to the creamed mixture alternately with milk.
Assembling the Bread
- Pour half of the batter into the prepared pan. Top with half of the apple mixture, then half of the brown sugar-cinnamon mixture. Repeat with the remaining batter and apple mixture, finishing with a sprinkle of the sugar-cinnamon mix.
Baking
- Place in the oven and bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the bread cool in the pan on a wire rack for 15 minutes, then remove from the pan and allow to cool completely.
Glazing
- Mix the powdered sugar and milk to make the glaze; drizzle over the cooled bread.
