Instructions:
Step 1
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line a 9×5-inch loaf pan with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a small bowl, mix brown sugar and cinnamon together. Set aside.
Step 3
Cream together butter and white sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in vanilla extract.
Step 4
In another bowl, whisk flour and baking powder together.
Step 5
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, alternating with milk, until fully incorporated. Gently fold in chopped apples.
Step 6
Pour half of the batter into the prepared loaf pan. Sprinkle half of the cinnamon-sugar mixture over the batter.
Step 7
Pour the remaining batter on top and sprinkle with the rest of the cinnamon-sugar mixture.
Step 8
Use a knife or skewer to swirl the cinnamon-sugar into the batter.
Step 9
Bake for 45–50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Step 10
Let cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack.
Step 11
Brush the top with melted butter and sprinkle with cinnamon sugar. Slice and serve warm.
