Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×5 inch loaf pan.
In a bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt.
In a separate bowl, cream together granulated sugar and butter until light and fluffy.
Beat in eggs one at a time, then stir in vanilla.
Gradually add the flour mixture to the sugar mixture, alternating with milk, starting and ending with the flour mixture.
Gently fold in the chopped apples.
In a small bowl, combine cinnamon and brown sugar.
Pour half of the batter into the prepared loaf pan. Sprinkle half of the cinnamon-brown sugar mixture over the batter. Pour the remaining batter on top and then sprinkle the remaining cinnamon-brown sugar mixture.
Bake for 50-60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Allow to cool before slicing.
