4. Beat in eggs and vanilla extract, then stir in milk until smooth.

5. Fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until just combined.

6. Toss chopped apples with brown sugar and cinnamon until coated.

7. Spread half of the batter into the pan, top with half of the apples, add remaining batter, and finish with remaining apples; swirl gently.

8. Bake for 50–60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

9. Let the loaf cool in the pan for 10–15 minutes before removing.
