Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease the loaf pan.
2. In a large bowl, combine flour, sugars, salt, baking powder, and cinnamon.
3. In another bowl, whisk eggs, melted butter, milk, and vanilla. Combine with dry ingredients, stirring just until mixed.
4. Toss the chopped apples in a small bowl with sugar and cinnamon.
5. Pour half of the batter into the pan, layer with half of the apples, then add the remaining batter and apples. Press apples slightly into the batter.

7. Combine powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla to create the glaze and drizzle over the cooled bread.
