In a large bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, 2 cups all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and 1 tablespoon cinnamon for the loaf mixture. In a separate small bowl, whisk together the egg, 1 cup milk, and 1/3 cup melted butter (do not add the apples yet).

Bake the loaf for 55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. If your oven tends to run hot, start checking a few minutes early. Once baked, remove the loaf from the oven and let it cool in the pan for at least 15 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.

While the loaf is cooling, prepare the icing drizzle. In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and 1 tablespoon of milk. If the drizzle is too thin, add a little more powdered sugar (1 teaspoon at a time). If it's too thick, add a tiny bit more milk (1/2 teaspoon at a time) until it reaches your desired consistency.

Once the loaf has cooled completely, drizzle the icing over the top. Slice and enjoy! This loaf is perfect with a cup of coffee for a fall breakfast or as a delightful after-dinner treat.
