Cinnamon Apple Pie Bread

Ingredients:

80ml light brown sugar

5ml ground cinnamon

160ml white sugar

125g butter, softened

2 eggs

7.5ml vanilla extract

375ml flour

10ml baking powder

125ml milk

1 apple - Granny Smith are good - peeled and chopped

Method:

Preheat the oven to 180˚C

Mix brown sugar and cinnamon together in a bowl and set aside.

Beat together the butter and white sugar in a bowl using an electric mixer until smooth and creamy. 

Beat in the eggs, 1 at a time, until incorporated.

Add the vanilla and stir until well mixed.

Combine flour and baking powder in another bowl. Stir in the creamed butter mixture. Mix the milk into the batter until it is silky smooth.

Pour half the batter into the prepared loaf pan. Top this batter layer with half the apples and half the sugar and cinnamon mixture. Lightly push the apples into the batter.

Pour the remaining batter over the apple layer and top with the remaining apples and cinnamon sugar. Lightly push the apples into the batter, swirling the cinnamon sugar through the apples using a clean finger.

Bake in the preheated oven for 30-40 minutes until a toothpick inserted into the centre of the loaf comes out clean. If you notice the top of the loaf getting too brown, cover loosely with tin foil and continue baking until the inside of the loaf is done.
