Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F (180 degrees C). Grease and line a 9 x 4 inch baking tin with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, combine all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and ground cinnamon. Whisk these ingredients together until well combined. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, add the room-temperature butter and granulated white sugar. Mix on high speed until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Whisk in the vanilla extract.
Add half of the flour mixture to the batter and fold in until just combined. Pour in all of the buttermilk and mix until combined (about 30 seconds). Fold in the remaining flour until just combined—do not over mix.
In a small bowl, combine the diced apples with brown sugar and remaining tablespoon of cinnamon. Toss to ensure apples are evenly coated.
Pour half of the batter into the prepared loaf tin. Evenly sprinkle half of the apple mixture over it. Use a knife to gently swirl into the top of the batter. Pour over remaining batter followed by remaining apples; gently swirl again with a knife.
Bake for 55-65 minutes, covering with aluminum foil at about 30 minutes to prevent over-browning.
Remove from oven and let cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Transfer to a cooling rack to cool completely before slicing.
