Preparation

• Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x5-inch (23x13 cm) loaf pan. Line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
• In a small bowl, combine the chopped apples with granulated sugar and cinnamon, then set aside.
• In another bowl, stir together the brown sugar and cinnamon for the swirl.
• In a large mixing bowl, beat the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, then mix in the vanilla.
• Whisk the flour, baking powder, and salt in a separate bowl. Add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, alternating with the milk, and mix just until combined.
• Spread half the batter into the prepared pan. Top with half the apple mixture and half the cinnamon sugar swirl. Repeat with the remaining batter, apples, and swirl.
• Lightly drag a knife through the layers to create a ribbon of cinnamon throughout. Bake for 55 to 65 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
• Let the bread cool in the pan for 15 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to finish cooling completely.
• Once the loaf is mostly cooled, prepare the glaze by whisking together confectioners’ sugar, milk, and vanilla until smooth. Finally, drizzle the glaze over the top and slice to serve.
