CINNAMON SWIRL APPLE BREAD

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350°F and set an oven rack in the middle position. Spray an 8.5 x 4.5-inch loaf pan lightly with nonstick cooking spray. Line the long side of the pan with a parchment paper "sling" and spray lightly with nonstick cooking spray again.
• In a small bowl, mix the brown sugar and cinnamon until evenly combined. Set aside.
• In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment or beaters, beat the eggs and granulated sugar on medium speed until pale and creamy, about 2 minutes.
• With the mixer on low, gradually add the melted butter followed by the milk and vanilla, and mix just until evenly combined.
• Add the flour, salt, and baking powder to the batter and mix on low speed until evenly combined.
• Add the apples to the batter and fold with a rubber spatula until evenly incorporated.
• Spoon about ⅔ of the batter into the prepared pan. Sprinkle about ⅔ of the brown sugar-cinnamon mixture on top of the batter. Spoon the remaining batter over top, followed by the remaining brown sugar-cinnamon mixture. Using a butter knife, swirl the layers by making a zig-zag motion through the batter once in each direction (don't overdo it!).
• Bake for about 50 minutes, until the bread is golden brown and a cake tester or toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let the bread cool on a rack for about 30 minutes, then use the parchment sling to lift the bread out of the pan and onto the rack. Let cool completely before slicing, a few hours or overnight. Store loosely covered with aluminum foil on the countertop for up to 4 days.
