Prepare the Pan and Cinnamon Mix:
Preheat the oven to 175°C (350°F). Lightly grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan with non-stick spray. In a small bowl, mix together the brown sugar and cinnamon. Set aside.
Make the Batter:
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the sugar, oil, eggs, and vanilla until well combined. Add flour, baking powder, and salt. Stir gently, then add the milk and mix until a thick batter forms.
Layer the Bread:
Pour half the batter into the prepared loaf pan. Top with half the chopped apples and half the cinnamon sugar mixture. Repeat the layers with the remaining batter, apples, and cinnamon sugar. Lightly swirl the top layer with a knife for a marbled effect. Sprinkle nuts over the top if using.
Bake:
Bake for 50–60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
Optional Glaze:
While the loaf cools, whisk together powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla to form a light glaze. Drizzle over the cooled bread before serving.
