Method
 

Preparation Steps
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a 9x5-inch bread pan with parchment paper and non-stick spray.
  2. In a small bowl, combine 1/4 cup of brown sugar with 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon and set aside.
  3. Coat 2 cups of chopped Granny Smith apples with 2 tablespoons of granulated sugar and 1 teaspoon of cinnamon.
  4. Cream together 1/2 cup of softened butter and 2/3 cup of granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Add 2 large eggs and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, blending smoothly.
  5. Whisk together 2 cups of flour, 1 tablespoon of baking powder, and 1/2 teaspoon of salt. Gradually add to the butter mixture, then mix in 1/2 cup of milk until smooth.
  6. Layer half of the batter in the prepared pan, followed by half of the apple mixture and half of the cinnamon sugar. Repeat with remaining ingredients.
  7. Bake for approximately 1 hour, or until a toothpick comes out clean. Let cool for 15 minutes.
  8. Mix 1 cup of powdered sugar with 1 tablespoon of milk for the glaze and drizzle over the cooled bread.

Notes

For the best results, avoid over-mixing, use uniform apple sizes, and ensure all ingredients are fresh.
