Ingredients
  • 1/3 cup light brown sugar
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 2/3 cup white sugar
  • 1/2 cup butter, softened
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 3/4 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 2 apples, peeled and chopped (any kind)
  • For Creme Glaze:
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 2 tbsp of milk or cream
Instructions
  1. 1

    Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

  2. 2

    Use a 9×5-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.

  3. 3

    Mix brown sugar and cinnamon together in a bowl. Set aside.

  4. 4

    In another medium-sized bowl, beat white sugar and butter together using an electric mixer until smooth and creamy. Beat in eggs, 1 at a time, until blended in; add in vanilla extract.

  5. 5

    Combine & whisk flour and baking powder together in another bowl and add into creamed butter mixture and stir until blended. Mix milk into batter until smooth.

  6. 6

    Pour half the batter into the prepared loaf pan; add half the apple mixture, then half the brown sugar/cinnamon mixture. Lightly pat apple mixture into batter.

  7. 7

    Pour the remaining batter over apple layer and top with remaining apple mixture, then the remaining brown sugar/cinnamon mixture.

  8. 8

    Lightly pat apples into batter; swirl brown sugar mixture through apples using knife or spoon. Bake until a toothpick inserted in the center of the loaf comes out clean, approximately 50-60 minutes.

  9. 9

    For the glaze, mix powdered sugar and milk or cream together until combined well.

  10. 10

    Let cool for about 15 minutes before drizzling with glaze.
