• Preheat oven to 350ºF. Prepare a 9x5 loaf pan with non-stick cooking spray. Line with parchment paper, if desired.
• Peel and dice the apples into small pieces. Set aside. 1 1/2 cups chopped apples
• In a small bowl, mix together the brown sugar and cinnamon. Add in nuts if you'd like. Set aside. 1/3 cup brown sugar, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 1/3 cup crushed walnuts

Loaf Batter:

• In a large bowl, cream the granulated sugar and butter together until creamy. Add in the eggs and vanilla, then mix until combined. 2/3 cup granulated sugar, 1/2 cup salted butter, 2 large eggs, 1 ½ teaspoons vanilla extract
• Add in the flour and baking powder alternately with the milk and mix just until combined. Then fold in the apples. Do not overmix! 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour, 1 ¾ teaspoons baking powder, ½ cup 2% milk
• Pour half of the bread batter into your prepared pan and set aside the rest. Sprinkle 1/2 of the sugar mixture over the batter. Spoon the remaining loaf batter on top, then sprinkle with the remaining sugar mixture.
• Bake for 45-50 minutes. Cool for 10 minutes before removing from pan and then cool completely on a wire rack before glazing. **The exact baking time will depend on the type and size of baking pan you have. Check the bread after 40 minutes and then every 5 minutes after until the bread tests done.

For the glaze:

• In a small bowl, mix together the powdered sugar and heavy cream. Then, drizzle all over the top of your finished bread.
