Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together 2 cups of flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and 2 teaspoons of cinnamon. Set aside.
Cream Butter and Sugar: In a large bowl, cream the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Incorporate the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
Combine Dry and Wet Ingredients: Alternately add the dry flour mixture and milk to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined. Avoid overmixing. Fold in the diced apples.
Make Streusel Topping: Mix brown sugar, 1/4 cup flour, melted butter, and 1 teaspoon cinnamon in a small bowl until crumbly.
Assemble: Pour half of the batter into the prepared loaf pan. Sprinkle half of the streusel topping over it. Repeat with the remaining batter and topping.
Bake: Place in the oven and bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean. Let it cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
Serving Suggestions:
Warm Delight: Serve warm with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream for a decadent touch.
