• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 2 large eggs
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/2 cup buttermilk
• 2 cups peeled and diced apples (about 2 medium apples)
• 1/4 cup brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon for topping
• 1 cup powdered sugar for glaze
• 2 tablespoons milk for glaze

Instructions

1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan.
2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt.
3. Cream Butter and Sugar: In a large mixing bowl, cream the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition, then stir in the vanilla extract.
4. Combine Ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, alternating with the buttermilk until just combined. Fold in the diced apples.
5. Prepare Cinnamon Sugar: In a small bowl, mix the brown sugar and cinnamon for the topping.
6. Layer the Batter: Pour half of the batter into the prepared loaf pan, sprinkle half of the cinnamon sugar mixture, then add the remaining batter and top with the rest of the cinnamon sugar.
7. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
8. Cool and Glaze: Allow the loaf to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack. For the glaze, mix powdered sugar and milk until smooth, and drizzle over the cooled loaf.
