Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan.
In a mixing bowl, toss the chopped apples with lemon juice to prevent browning. Set aside.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, light brown sugar, cinnamon, and white sugar.
Cream the softened butter and sugars together until light and fluffy. Add the eggs and vanilla extract, and mix until fully incorporated.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined. Avoid overmixing.
Gently fold in the prepared apple filling, ensuring the apple pieces are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Pour the batter into the greased loaf pan and smooth the top.
Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean and the top is golden brown.
Cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely. Slice and serve warm.

Notes

Vegan: Use flax eggs and substitute the butter with coconut oil or plant-based butter.
Gluten-Free: Swap the all-purpose flour for a gluten-free flour blend.
Other Fruits: Substitute apples with pears or peaches for a different twist.
Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for up to 1 week.
Reheating: Warm in the microwave or toast in a toaster oven for best results.
