By bobcat

Ingredients

• 1/2 tablespoon ground cinnamon
• 1/3 cup white sugar
• 2/3 cup brown sugar, divided
• 1/4 cup butter, softened
• 1/4 cup applesauce (note: you can use 1/2 cup butter and skip the applesauce if you prefer)
• 2 eggs, well beaten
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 1/2 cups all purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1/3 cup milk
• 1 large or 2 small apples, peeled and chopped
• 1 tablespoon butter, melted

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease and flour a loaf pan.

Combine 1/3 cup of brown sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl and set aside.

With mixer on medium speed, beat white sugar, remaining brown sugar and butter until fluffy. Mix in applesauce. Add well beaten eggs and vanilla.

Stir together the flour and baking powder. Add flour to egg mixture and stir just until combined. DO NOT OVERMIX! Add milk.

Pour half of the batter into the prepared loaf pan. Sprinkle 1/2 of the apples and 1/2 of the brown sugar mix over batter.

Stir the remaining apples in the remaining batter and pour into the pan. Top with the remaining brown sugar mixture.

Bake approximately 40 minutes. Remove from the oven, brush top with melted butter and bake for an additional 5-10 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean.

Let cool for 10 minutes before removing from pan.
