you can’t please everyone (yourself included) all of the time

the people who are best for you will listen to you and hear you

those who care about you won’t leave you wondering where they are when you need them

working on how you see yourself through your own eyes is a lot more productive than trying to change how others see you

there’s time to change your mind even if it feels like you’re making a big leap from where your plan started

if you have a bad feeling about someone, there’s usually a good reason

rest when you need to even if it takes time out of your day that you could be using to do something else

a good cry can be more healing than you’d think

your relationship with food is important and eating isn’t always easy, but it’s worth the healing process to get better

Ingredients

⅓ cup light brown sugar (not packed)

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

⅔ cup white sugar

½ cup salted butter, softened (or use unsalted and add ¼ tsp salt)

2 eggs

1½ teaspoons vanilla extract

1½ cups all-purpose flour

1¾ teaspoons baking powder

½ cup milk

1 apple, peeled and chopped (I used Granny Smith)

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease and flour a 9 x 5-inch loaf pan.

Mix brown sugar and cinnamon together in a mixing bowl and set aside.

Beat white sugar and butter together in a bowl using an electric mixer until smooth and creamy.

Beat in eggs, 1 at a time, until incorporated; add vanilla extract and stir until incorporated.

Combine flour and baking powder together in another bowl; stir into creamed butter mixture.

Mix milk into batter until smooth.

Pour half the batter into the prepared loaf pan. Next add half the apples and half the brown sugar cinnamon mixture. Lightly pat/push apple mixture into batter.

Pour the remaining batter over apple layer; top with remaining apples and add more brown sugar/cinnamon mixture.

Lightly pat/push apples into batter; swirl brown sugar mixture through apples using a finger or spoon (I cleaned my hands and used my finger because it was easier).
