Ingredients
  

  • 1/3 cup light brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 2/3 cup white sugar
  • 1/2 cup butter softened
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 3/4 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 cup diced apples optional

Instructions
 

  • Preheat & Prep: Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C) and greasing a loaf pan to prevent sticking.
  • Cream Butter & Sugars: In a large mixing bowl, beat together 1/2 cup of softened butter, 1/3 cup light brown sugar, and 2/3 cup white sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy.
  • Add Eggs & Vanilla: Gradually add in 2 eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Then, stir in 1 1/2 teaspoons of vanilla extract to enhance the flavor.
  • Mix Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 1/2 cups of all-purpose flour, 1 3/4 teaspoons of baking powder, and 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon.
  • Combine & Fold: Slowly mix the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients just until combined. If you'd like a burst of extra flavor, fold in 1 cup of diced apples at this point.
  • Bake: Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top to ensure even baking. Place it in the oven and bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  • Cool & Enjoy: Allow the bread to cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring it to a wire rack, where it should cool completely. Enjoy warm with a drizzle of glaze or a spread of butter for ultimate yummy goodness!
