Ingredients

- 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

Preparation
Step 1
NOTE: Readers have mentioned that this bread has taken a bit longer to bake than stated in the recipe. Mine took 37 minutes but some have taken as much as an additional 15 minutes. I would recommend checking the bread with a toothpick to make sure it comes out clean at about 35 minutes and adjust accordingly.
Preheat oven to 350. Grease and flour a loaf pan.
Combine 1/3 of the brown sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl and set aside.
With mixer on medium, beat white sugar, remaining brown sugar and butter until fluffy. Mix in applesauce. Add well beaten eggs and vanilla.
Stir together flour and baking powder. Add flour to egg mixture and stir just until combined. Do not over mix. Add milk.
Pour half of the batter into a greased and floured loaf pan. sprinkle with half the apples and half the brown sugar mix.
Stir the remaining apples into the remaining batter and pour into the pan. Top with remaining brown sugar mixture.
Bake approx. 40 minutes. Remove from the oven, brush topping with melted butter. Continue baking an additional 5-10 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
