Add a great cup of coffee or cup of tea to this moist brown sugar and cinnamon apple bread and you will want to sit for a moment to enjoy. If it is still slightly warm, even better. Enjoy!
1/2 C. packed light brown sugar
1/2 tsp. cinnamon
2/3 C. white sugar
1/2 C. butter, softened
2 eggs
2 tsp. vanilla extract
1-1/2 C. all-purpose flour (I use Einkorn)
1-1/2 tsp. baking powder
1/2 C. milk
1 large apple, peeled and finely chopped
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease and flour a 9 x 5-inch loaf pan. Mix brown sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl and set aside. With a mixer, combine the sugar and butter until smooth. Add the eggs and vanilla and continue to beat on medium speed until combined. Add flour and baking powder, then the milk. Add half the batter into the prepared pan. Cover with half the apples, patting down with the back of a spoon. Sprinkle with half of the cinnamon and sugar mixture. Pour the remaining batter over the apples, then the rest of the apples and cinnamon and sugar mixture. Pat down the apples, then using a butter knife, swirl figure eights through the batter to incorporate the topping. Bake for 50 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Cool for 10 minutes before transferring to a cooling rack.
