Preheat the oven to 350°F
Line a 1-pound loaf pan with parchment paper on all sides.
To make the cinnamon apples, mix all ingredients in a bowl until evenly coated.
To make the cinnamon sugar combine the sugar with the cinnamon in a bowl and set aside.
In a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, combine the butter, and granulated sugar. Beat on medium speed until light and fluffy.
Add the eggs one at a time and beat at low speed. Add the vanilla extract and mix well.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. With the mixer on low speed, add half the dry ingredients and mix slightly. Next add the milk and yoghurt and mix slightly. Last, add the second half of dry ingredients and mix until just combined.
Transfer half of the batter into the loaf pan. Add half of the apple mixture and half of the cinnamon sugar mixture. Top with the remaining batter and spoon over the remaining apples and cinnamon sugar.
Bake until the cake is golden brown all over and a butter knife inserted into the center of the loaf comes out clean, 50-60 minutes. Allow to cool.
Meanwhile to make the frosting, in a small bowl, whisk together the Violife creamy, the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth. Once the loaf is cool, drizzle with the frosting and serve!
