How To Make Apple Cinnamon Swirl Cake
Preheat oven to 350º. Line a 9” x 5” loaf pan with parchment paper and spray with baking spray and set to the side.
In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the brown sugar and ground cinnamon and set to the side.
To a separate large mixing bowl, whisk together the all purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt.
To a separate medium mixing bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, melted butter, eggs and pure vanilla extract.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir to combine.
Add the chopped apples, using a rubber spatula to fold them in. The batter will be thick.
Spread half of the batter to the bottom of the prepared loaf pan. Sprinkle half of the cinnamon sugar on top of the batter, being sure to completely cover. Spread the remaining batter on top and once again top with the remaining cinnamon sugar.
Place it in the preheated oven and bake for 40 to 45 minutes or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with just a few crumbs on it, not a wet batter. Remove from oven and allow to cool slightly before removing from pan. Once cooled, remove from pan and serve.
