When the angel on your left shoulder and the devil on your right start bickering about wanting cake, it’s often time to bake a healthier version. This moist apple sweet bread should quiet down the bickering!
Combine the dry ingredients in a bowl: flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, 1/4 cup of sugar and artificial sweetener.
Peel, core and dice the apple and place in a separate bowl with a couple of tablespoons of the dry mixture. (Coating the apple in the flour mixture will prevent the pieces from sinking to the bottom of the cake when baking.)
Using a pastry cutter or fork, blend the butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
In a bowl, combine the wet ingredients:buttermilk, egg and vanilla. Whisk together.
Add the buttermilk/egg mixture to the flour/butter mixture and stir just until combined. Blend in the apple pieces and pour the batter into a loaf pan that’s been coated with nonstick cooking spray.
Combine the cinnamon with the remaining 1 tablespoon of sugar and sprinkle over the top of the cake. Bake in a preheated 350ºF oven for 1 hour. Allow to cool slightly before slicing.

I made this as a little snack for my family over the Thanksgiving holiday and it went over very well. It was light but still sweet and great with our morning coffee and tea. I ended up using agave nectar instead of Splenda (added to the wet ingredients) and found I had to cook the bread a little longer than suggested, but it still turned out moist and delicious.
