Ingredients:
BROWN SUGAR CINNAMON MIXTURE:
1/3 cup light brown sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

BREAD LOAF:
1/2 cup butter softened
2/3 cup granulated sugar
2 eggs room temp
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 3/4 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 cup milk or almond milk room temp

CHOPPED APPLE MIXTURE:
2 large, peeled and chopped small apples, toss with 2 Tblsp sugar and 1 tsp cinnamon
just before adding it to the bread mixture.
OLD-FASHIONED CREME GLAZE:
1/2 cup powdered sugar
1-3 tablespoons milk or cream


Directions:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Use a 9x5-inch loaf pan and spray with non-stick spray or line with foil and spray with non-stick spray to get out easily for slicing.

Mix 1/3 cup brown sugar and 1 teaspoon cinnamon together in a bowl. Set aside.

Combine & whisk 1 & 1/2 cups flour and 1 & 3/4 teaspoons baking powder together in another bowl and set aside.

In another medium-sized bowl, beat 2/3 cup granulated sugar and 1/2 cup softened butter together using an electric mixer until smooth and creamy.

Beat in 2 eggs, one at a time until blended in; add in 1 & 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract and mix in.

Add the flour mixture into creamed butter mixture and mix until blended.

Mix 1/2 cup milk into batter and continue mixing until smooth.

Pour half the batter into the prepared loaf pan; add half the chopped apple mixture with 2 tablespoons sugar and 1 teaspoon cinnamon added in and mix together.

Sprinkle 1/2 of the brown sugar/cinnamon mixture you set aside earlier, on top of apple layer.

Repeat Layer: Pour the remaining batter over apple layer and top with remaining chopped apples cinnamon/sugar mixture, then the remaining brown sugar/cinnamon mixture on top.

Use a knife and swirl through the mixture a few times.

Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted in the center of the loaf comes out clean, approximately 60 minutes.

To make glaze, mix 1/2 cup powdered sugar and 1 to 3 tablespoons milk or cream together until well mixed. (Place mixture in microwave for 10 seconds to get it pourable if it needs a boost.)

Let loaf rest in pan for about 15 minutes before removing from pan to let cool off completely on a cooling rack. Drizzle with glaze.

If you want more glaze, make a double batch. 🙂
