Preparation

  5. Gradually incorporate the flour mixture and milk into the butter mixture, alternating between the two until combined.
  6. In another bowl, mix together the light brown sugar, ground cinnamon, and chopped apples.
Baking

  2. Repeat with the remaining batter and apple mixture.
  3. Sprinkle the top with brown sugar and ground cinnamon.
  4. Bake for 45-55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  5. Allow the bread to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring it to a cooling rack.
