OLD-FASHIONED WHITE CAKE WITH CINNAMON SPICED APPLES

This is a darling little loaf cake that could be paired beautifully with your afternoon cup of coffee or tea. It is not overly sweet, which made it more like a muffin texture, than a fine white cake. You only need two apples to prepare this afternoon delight! You know what they say about an apple a day......... OLD-FASHIONED WHITE CAKE WITH CINNAMON SPICED APPLES 1/3 cup 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 1/2 t. salt 1/2 cup buttermilk 2 apples, peeled and chopped (sprinkle with sugar and cinnamon)

	Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan.

	Beat white sugar and butter together in a bowl using an electric mixer until smooth and creamy. Beat in eggs, 1 at a time, until incorporated; add vanilla extract.

Pour half the batter into the prepared loaf pan; add half the apples and half the brown sugar mixture. Lightly pat apple mixture into batter. Pour the remaining batter over apple layer; top with remaining apples and brown sugar mixture. Lightly pat apples into batter; swirl brown sugar mixture through apples using a spoon.
