Juice of 1/2 lemon

1/3 c. light brown sugar

Preheat oven to 350° and line a 9"x5" loaf pan with parchment paper. In a large bowl, stir together chopped apples, lemon juice, brown sugar, and cinnamon.
In another large bowl using a hand mixer, cream together butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs and vanilla and beat until smooth. Beat in flour, baking powder, and orange juice until just combined.
