Prep time: 15 mins
Cook time: 50 mins
Total time: 1 hour 5 mins
Ingredients
  • ¼ cup (50g) brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 large apple
  • ½ cup (115g) butter or margarine, softened
  • ⅔ cup (133g) granulated sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 ½ cups (185g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
  • ½ cup (1.2dl) milk or soy milk
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 350°F/180°C and grease and flour a loaf pan.
  2. In a small mixing bowl, combine brown sugar and cinnamon and set aside to use later.
  3. Peel and dice your apples and set aside in a small bowl to use later.
  4. In a large mixing bowl, beat butter and granulated sugar until creamy, about 3 to 5 minutes. Add the eggs and vanilla extract and mix until well combined.
  5. Gradually add the flour and baking powder and continue to beat on medium speed until combined. Add milk and beat until just combined.
  6. Pour half of the batter into the loaf pan and top with half of the apples. Using the back of a spoon, lightly push the apples into the batter. Top with half of the cinnamon mixture.
  7. Pour the other half of the batter over the apple and cinnamon mixture. Top with the remaining apples and cinnamon mixture. Pat lightly with the back of a spoon.
  8. Bake in preheated oven for 50 minutes. Test for doneness by inserting a toothpick in the center of the bread to check if it comes out clean.
  9. Let the bread cool in its pan before turning it over on a serving platter, about 30-45 minutes.
