Ingredients

For the Bread:

1/3 cup brown sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
2 medium apples, peeled and chopped
2/3 cup granulated 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 Glaze:

1/2 cup powdered sugar
2–3 teaspoons milk

Instructions

Preheat Oven
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan and set aside.
Make Cinnamon Mixture
In a small bowl, stir together brown sugar and cinnamon. Set aside.
Prepare Apples
Toss chopped apples with a spoonful of the cinnamon mixture. Set aside.
Mix the Batter
In a large bowl, cream together the granulated sugar and softened butter until light and fluffy.
Beat in eggs one at a time, then add vanilla extract.
In another bowl, whisk together flour and baking powder.
Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the wet, alternating with the milk. Begin and end with the flour mixture.
Assemble the Loaf
Pour half the batter into the prepared pan.
Top with half the apples, then sprinkle on half the cinnamon mixture.
Repeat the layers with the remaining batter, apples, and cinnamon mixture.
Gently swirl a knife through the loaf to create a marbled effect.
Bake
Bake for 50–60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Let cool in the pan for 10–15 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
Glaze
Whisk powdered sugar with milk to make a smooth glaze. Drizzle over the cooled bread.
