Instructions
Preheat over to 350 degrees. Spray a 9×5 inch loaf pan with cooking spray. Set aside.
In a small bowl, combine the brown sugar with 3/4 teaspoon of cinnamon. Set aside.
In another bowl, combine diced apples with the remaining 3/4 teaspoon of cinnamon. Mix well. Set aside.
In a large bowl, cream together the unsalted butter and white sugar. Beat eggs in, one at a time until mixed completely. Add vanilla and mix well.
In a medium bowl, whisk flour and baking soda. Add 1/2 cup milk and stir until mixed well, then add to the butter mixture and stir until well incorporated.
Pour half of the batter into prepared loaf pan. Layer half of apple~cinnamon mixture on top of the batter, then half of the brown sugar~cinnamon mixture. Gently press apples into batter.
Add remaining batter, then remaining apples followed by brown sugar mixture. Lightly press apples into batter and with butter knife gently swirl the brown sugar into the batter and between apples.
Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool for 15 minutes before removing from pan.
While bread is cooling, prepare the icing. In a small bowl, whisk powdered sugar and remaining 2 Tablespoons of milk until smooth. Place a baggie into a coffee mug, pour icing into bag. Snip a tiny bit of the end off, and drizzle over bread.
