Instructions

For the Bread:

1. Preheat the oven to 350ºF and line a bread pan with parchment paper. Spray parchment paper with nonstick cooking spray.
2. In a small bowl, mix ⅓ cup brown sugar and 1 teaspoon cinnamon. Set aside.
3. In a medium bowl, toss chopped apples with 2 tablespoons sugar and 1 teaspoon cinnamon. Set aside.
4. In a large mixing bowl, cream butter and ⅔ cup sugar until fluffy.
5. Add eggs and vanilla extract, and beat until smooth.
6. In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt.
7. Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the butter mixture, alternating with ½ cup milk. Mix until just combined.
8. Pour half of the batter into the prepared bread pan. Layer half of the apples and sprinkle half of the cinnamon-sugar mixture on top.
9. Add the remaining batter, apples, and cinnamon-sugar mixture.
10. Bake for 1 hour or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
11. Let the bread cool in the pan for 15 minutes before transferring to a cooling rack.

For the Glaze:

1. In a small bowl, mix powdered sugar with 1 tablespoon milk. Gradually add more milk until the glaze reaches your desired consistency.
2. Drizzle the glaze over the cooled bread.
