Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease and flour an 8.5 x 4.5 inch loaf pan.

  6. Combine 1 cup of chopped apples, 0.5 cups of brown sugar, and 1 teaspoon of cinnamon in a separate bowl.
  7. Layer half of the batter in the loaf pan, followed by half of the apple mixture, swirled gently into the batter.

  9. Sprinkle 0.25 cups of brown sugar and 1 teaspoon of cinnamon over the top.
