Art’s Apple Cinnamon Bread

My husband doesn’t cook or bake, so when he came to me and said he wanted to make this bread I was shocked.  I said “Go For It!, I’ll give you moral support”.  I have to say that he picked a good recipe.  It was delicious!

• 1/3 cup brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon cinnamon
• 2/3 cup sugar
• 1/2 cup butter, softened
• 2 eggs
• 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 3/4 teaspoons baking powder
• 1/2 cup milk
• 1 apple, peeled and chopped

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.  Grease and flour a 9 x 5″ loaf pan.

Mix brown sugar and cinnamon together in a bowl.

Beat sugar and butter together in a bowl using an electric mixer until smooth and creamy.  Beat in eggs, 1 at a time, until incorporated; add vanilla extract.

Add flour and baking powder to creamed butter mixture.  Mix milk into batter until smooth.  Pour half the batter into the prepared pan;  add half the apples and half the brown sugar mixture.  Repeat layer with remaining batter, apples and brown sugar mixture.  Swirl mixture with spoon lightly.

Bake for 40 to 50 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center of loaf comes out clean.
